Second, you do not need an Ohio concealed carry license to transport a weapon in your motor vehicle. Instead, you need to keep the loaded or unloaded firearm in a location you can only reach by exiting the vehicle.
Under the Brady Law, if there's something in your record that needs further investigation, then the FBI has three business days (not including the day they run your initial background check) to get back to you. If the FBI doesn't either approve or deny you after three business days, then you can go ahead and buy a gun.

As of June 13, 2022, anyone 21-years-of-age or older who is not prohibited from firearm possession under state and federal law, and meets the definition of a “qualifying adult,” may carry a firearm in public without a permit or background check.
As long as you meet the law's requirements, the sheriff must issue a concealed-handgun license within 45 days of receiving your properly completed application. The license lasts for five years.
