Gov. Mike DeWine signs law eliminating the requirement for conceal carry permits
will let Ohio residents 21 and older conceal firearms they are legally allowed to own without training or permits. It also removed the legal requirement for gun owners to tell police they are armed when stopped. Law enforcement will have to ask, but lying about a concealed weapon will be a misdemeanor offense.
"It’s a fantasy to think this is going to make us safer," Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said. Ohio law currently requires conceal carry permit holders to attend eight hours of training, which includes two hours spent at a gun range firing a weapon. Those permits will still be available for people who want to carry across certain state lines, but they will be optional for those carrying across Ohio.
And Rep. Shane Wilkin, R-Hillsboro, said SB 215 would protect gun owners from “intrusive government overreach.”
