i heard the same thing about getting out of tickets. my buddy who really swayed me to do it told me he's gotten pulled over 3-4 times, and not a single ticket...he was saying he blew through a stop sign at like 20mph, cop pulled him over, told him he knew why he was being pulled over, told him he was carrying, etc etc, no ticket.
now, im not planning on using this to get out of tickets, but if it works, sweet.
and as for counties to go to, a local guy joined mp-pistol and was saying he went to franklin co and had his permit in either a day or two. it wasnt anywhere near 8-10 days. im 2 min from the licking co border, so maybe ill just go there
