Who Can Apply for an Ohio Concealed
Carry License?
The Applicant
Restrictions can be found in Ohio Law:
ORC Section 2923.125
1.
Must be at least 21 years old. You can
complete the concealed carry training before you are 21,
but you can't apply for the CCW
license until you are 21.
2. Resident of Ohio for at least 45 days
and a resident of your county for at
least 30 days. (You can take the CCW class
before you meet this requirement, but
can not apply for the license until you
meet this requirement.)
3. Not a fugitive from justice.
4. Your criminal record will be
disclosed on your application and the
sheriff will do a background check.
There are many criminal offenses that
will bar your from obtaining your
license. If you have a criminal
conviction
in your background, please review ORC
Section 2923.125 to see if it
disqualifies you. If you are unsure if a
conviction in your past will disqualify
you, please contact us to find out.
Please be specific about the convictions
so that we can help you make the
determination.
5. Mental Competency: The law states
that you must not have been adjudicated
as a mental defective, been committed to
any mental institution, be under a
current adjudication of incompetence,
have been found by a court to be
mentally ill, subject to hospitalization
by court order, and not be an
involuntary patient other than one who
is a patient only for purpose of
observation.
6. Not subject to a protection order by
Ohio or another state.
Please contact us to see if a
specific conviction that you had in your
past will disqualify you from obtaining
your license. Email is the preferred
contact method because I will forward to
an attorney. Please be specific about
the convictions so that we can help you
make the determination.
