Fenton v. Fischer

{¶ 1} Everett Fenton appeals from a judgment of the Greene County Common Pleas Court affirming a decision of the Greene County Sheriff to deny his application for a license to carry a concealed weapon. He contends that the denial of the license is contrary to law because it is based on an erroneous interpretation of the concealed handgun legislation.

{¶ 2} We conclude that the relevant statute, R.C. 2923.125, does not require the denial of Fenton's license application. Accordingly, the judgment of the common pleas court is reversed.
