Ohio is known as a “shall-issue” state with concealed
weapons permits issued at the county level by the county sheriff in the
applicant’s county of residence. The
first thing to know is there is no permit, background check or firearms
registration required when buying a handgun from a private individual.
Simply put, concealed carry is legal with a
license/permit. Residents 21 years of
age and older can obtain an Ohio Concealed Handgun License. They must have completed eight hours of
firearms training and meet other criteria to qualify. Current and former servicemen and women may
obtain an Ohio CHL without paying the fee or going through a concealed carry
class.
Then, there is that huge gray area where you or a loved one
have been arrested in Northeast Ohio on a concealed carry weapons charge. If that is ever the case, please contact
Akron criminal attorney Jon Sinn immediately!
Many times, the only sin you have committed is NOT calling Jon right
away. Attorney Jon Sinn may be reached
24/7 at (330) 431-0160.
