Ohio permits concealed carry without a license for adults 21 and older since June 13, 2022.

It requires eight hours of training, including live fire and a written test, and is valid for five years. The license aids in traveling to other states. Ohio law requires notifying law enforcement if asked while carrying, so review the Attorney General's manual.
