Something to the effect of "Advance level is just doing the fundamentals faster." Any clues? Figure someone here would know. Thanks.

Took a tac handgun class recently with him and it was AWESOME. Very good instructor and very good course. Anyone in the area has NO excuse to not go at some point. World-class instruction that I will remember all my life. Very nice guy too. My class had many able-bodied students and we...

I'm moving to Houston (Kingwood) next month from the People's Republik of Ohio, Kleveland. I have a CHL here and guess I'm kind of in the same boat. We don't have reciprocity though. I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row and want to know exactly what I need to do to get this started. Do I...

Thanks for the reply sendec. I would likely be carrying it smartcarry-style so I wouldn't be leaving it in a locker. Just west of Cleveland in Westlake, last week or so a Chief was working out there and came back to his locker to find a guy going through his stuff in front of him. He took off...

Just got back from the gym in downtown Kleveland, OH. Saw the No Guns sticker on the front door that wasn't there days before. Now I'm trying to figure out the best way of going about getting these signs down. Leaving the gym is an option but would rather try to get them to bring them down...

What exactly is a "resident alien?" I've heard the term many times before. Thanks.

Just got back from the Painesville gunshow in Lake County, adjacent to Cuyahoga County (Kleveland). A dealer out of Lake County also said he needed 90 days. What's the deal up here? Any FFL's here know about any of this? Somebody throw me a bone.

Utility bills or the such, which I have but didn't get my Ohio license till recently so I just don't want to create havoc for myself if I have to sign somewhere that I've been a resident for 90 days. I don't even know what is legally a "resident" here.

I am an Ohio resident. I called two places that I believe are within Cuyahoga County limits but are outside of Cleveland. They both said they needed the 90 days proof. I do have a driver's license here too.

Hey all, I'm newly an Ohio resident planning on moving out within 1.5 years. Hopefully less. Anyway, I've been shopping around for a new handgun and now I find out that there's a 90 day rule. To buy, I have to bring in something like utility bills for at least 90 days and be a resident (of...

My mistake. I meant that Stonewall needed the 90 days worth of proof for buying something from them. If that applies to transfers too (for OH or Cuyahoga County or Cleveland), I don't know.

Thanks for the replies! I will eventually be moving back to WA (couple to few years) but am pretty much forced to be in OH. My family is in WA so I'm hoping to get the transfer done asap. I was told by Stonewall gun store south of Cleveland that I'd have to bring in proof that I've lived in...

I'll be changing to OH soon and was wondering if I can accept a handgun from a family member as a gift when I'm an Ohio resident. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. And what's with the 90 day residency requirement before being able to buy a handgun? I have utility bills that go back 90 days but...

Hi all. I'm wondering about the specific rules are for buying a handgun at the gunstore and buying one at a gunshow from a dealer and one from an individual. I'll be a resident soon and want to get this down right. Of course, being in Cleveland, I could drive a mile east and get one with no...

Looks like I may become an Ohio resident; currently from WA. With that, does anyone know the legalities of having a handgun given to me as a gift from another WA resident after I become an Ohio resident (specifically Cleveland)? I know I would have to register the gun in Cleveland. I might...
