Ohio Concealed Handgun Law

Carrying a concealed handgun is a privilege in Ohio, and with this privilege comes a responsibility to be aware, not only of the common sense rules of safe firearm handling, but the laws that affect how, when and where you can carry your firearm. The law sets forth several places where the license does not allow you to carry a handgun. The law, R.C.2923.126(B), lists places that concealed handguns are prohibited, including places of worship, daycare centers and school premises. While the Old Stone Church Sanctuary is easily recognized as a place of worship, some visitors may not be aware that Old Stone Church’s parish house, the Old Stone Center, is home to the Old Stone Education Center and Daycare Center. Revised Code 2925.01(P) establishes that it is an offense to carry a concealed handgun within 1,000 feet of a school facility.
