Spare Change Shooter Had Concealed Carry Permit
POSTED: 9:13 am EDT August 13, 2007
CINCINNATI -- A woman accused of fatally shooting a panhandler who asked her for 25 cents had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, authorities said.
Geraldine Beasley, 62, also paid a fine for unlawfully transporting a firearm in 2003, but the charge was not serious enough to prevent her from getting the concealed weapon permit.
She applied for the permit through the Hamilton County sheriff's office one year later.
Beasley is charged with murder in the death of Donald Francis, 44, who police believe was homeless.
Police said Francis had been standing outside a gas station late Aug. 6 asking people for money.
Beasley had complained about Francis to someone else and when he approached her to ask for 25 cents, she pulled out a gun and shot him, police said. Francis died at the scene.
Court and police records do not refer to Beasley having a mental illness, which also could have disqualified her from obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
State law disqualifies anyone with a felony or misdemeanor conviction related to drugs or violence from obtaining a permit. Most gun-related violations also are enough to disqualify an applicant.
"There was nothing to disqualify her," sheriff's spokesman Steve Barnett said of Beasley.
Beasley's attorney, Massimino Ionna, said he's not sure if he'll ask a court for a mental competency evaluation of his client.
He has denied that homelessness was an issue in the deadly shooting.
Some homeless rights advocates have alleged the shooting was a hate crime.
Beasley remained in a county jail Saturday on a bond of $500,000, and she's due to appear in court Thursday, authorities said.

Interesting. We identify him as a CHL holder and attribute the insight to the Buckeye Firearms association article. They called him a CHL holder and attribute their source to a newspaper (Dayton Daily News) that never reported him as a CHL holder.
That line appears in the DDN article."I just knew I had to stop them," recalled Bragg, who holds a concealed carry permit.
I hate to bring bad light to this guys but this is only the beginning. I know this situation very closely and it is unfortunate but there may be charges.
With passage of HB347 into law such silly ordinances banning high cap magazines or so called assault weapons bans died . Now state law reigns supreme.Charges for what? He didn't shoot them,....wait uh oh, did the magazine in his gun carry more than 10 bullets?
You just need to read more closely...
