Summit County residents interested in learning more about Ohio's concealed carry laws have an upcoming opportunity. The Summit County Sheriff's Office announced that it will be hosting a CCW Workshop on Tuesday, May 27, at the Northwest Family Recreation Center in Akron. Sheriff Kandy Fatheree is teaming up with Elliot Kolkovich, Summit County Prosecutor, to guide attendees through various firearm-related topics.
Assistant Prosecutors will educate participants on a range of subjects, including concealed carry, stand-your-ground, and castle doctrine. These are laws that, amidst the changing landscape of gun legislation, remain critical for gun owners and law enforcement to understand fully. Amidst this essential education, the Summit County Sheriff's Office ensures that attendees will not leave empty-handed. Those who participate in the Workshop will receive a complimentary gun lock upon completion, courtesy of the Sheriff’s Office, as reported on their social media post.
Sheriff Fatheree will provide a basic gun safety primer, covering best practices for storing, handling, and using weapons safely. With recent changes to concealed carry laws, the Workshop aims to clarify how these adjustments impact both gun owners and law enforcement officials. The Workshop organizers hope that by combining legal education with practical safety training, participants can navigate the complex world of gun ownership with greater confidence and responsibility.
Community engagement efforts such as this Workshop highlight the proactive steps taken by the Summit County Sheriff's Office to emphasize responsible gun ownership. The handout of complimentary gun locks, which were touted on their social media post, symbolizes a tangible commitment to safety in the aftermath of increased discussions on gun control and rights.
