SOME BENEFITS OF HAVING A LICENSE TO CARRY CONCEALED

• Reciprocity with other states
• Faster firearm purchases
• Mandatory safety training as a result of taking this course
• Potential to carry in more places
• Proof of responsible gun ownership
• *1 Under limited circumstances, an individual with a CCW license can carry in school safety zones. Ohio’s illegal conveyance statute specifically carves out an exception for those with a CCW license; though, they cannot enter a school building with the firearm and cannot be at a school activity.
• *2 When purchasing a firearm, a valid CCW holder does not have to wait as long for a federal background check before purchasing the firearm. A valid CCW license holder has already been scrutinized and cleared to purchase a firearm, which expedites the firearm purchasing process for them.
• *3 Finally, a CCW license can be handy for those individuals who travel outside of the state. Many states’ CCW laws have reciprocity to that of Ohio’s. In other words, not every state has constitutional carry. It is risky from a criminal law standpoint to assume other states have constitutional carry laws. However, many states who have CCW laws will recognize Ohio’s CCW license and will permit a valid Ohio CCW holder to carry their firearm in a concealed manner.
