Hello.
I'm a 61 year old woman.
I want to get my Ohio carry permit. The state of Ohio requires 6 hours of classroom training and 2 hours of firearm training/shooting.
I suffer badly from COPD and sleep apnea.
I'm on Oxygen 7X24.
I am an accomplished shot with a handgun & know & practice all the safety rules.
Sitting through a 6 hour class in one sitting would be extremely difficult.
The two hour firearm training/shooting should be OK as long as I can take a breath of Oxygen every once in a while. I assume taking an Oxygen bottle to the range would not be allowed, but, the range the online training refers to has an enclosed range and a separate area away from the firing.
I've been advised to make sure the instructor(s) giving the training sessions have been approved by the State for training due to some con artists in the past. I ran across some online training sites that offer the classroom portion online. That portion can also be broken down into several sessions.
This would be a Godsend to me!
My question here is, is the online training like this acceptable to the State of Ohio?
Who in the Sate of Ohio can I contact to find out?
Thank you so much in advance.
