On June 13, 2022, Ohio enacted a permitless carry law (PCL), allowing Ohioans to carry a firearm without a concealed-carry license.
Ohio sees drop in concealed-carry permits in 2024. There's a logical reason why. Ohio issued fewer concealed handgun permits last year, in part due to a change in the law that allows gun owners to carry their weapon without a permit.
There is a 30-day grace period after your permit expires that you can still carry.
For the first time in Ohio history, though, the law also authorizes concealed carry without a permit. This means that any Ohioan 21 or older who is not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm can carry a concealed handgun. Many laws may prohibit you from possessing a firearm.
(A) No person shall knowingly discharge a firearm while in or on a motor vehicle. (B) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle in such a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger without leaving the vehicle.
You have to keep your gun out of sight. If someone can see your gun through your car window, that could be illegal. The law says it has to be hidden, usually in a locked container. If you are found guilty of carrying a gun openly in a public place, you could be charged under PC 26350.
Ohio law prohibits transporting a loaded firearm in a vehicle where it is easily accessible to the driver or passengers. If you hold a concealed handgun license or are an active member of the armed forces, you must disclose to law enforcement that you have a loaded handgun in the vehicle when stopped.
