Ohio's Concealed Carry Law

Effective April 8, 2004, citizens in Ohio will be eligible to apply for a permit that will allow them to carry a concealed weapon. Permit applications are processed through your local Sheriff's Department.

Carrying a concealed handgun is a privilege in Ohio, and with this privilege comes a responsibility to be aware, not only of the common sense rules of safe firearm handling, but the laws that affect how, when and where you can carry your firearm, and how to properly use the handgun to defend yourself or another person.
