Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited in school safety zones, regardless of whether an individual holds a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit. This restriction is in place to ensure the safety of students and staff within educational environments. The law recognizes the unique nature of schools as places of learning and aims to minimize risks associated with firearms.

While there are specific regulations regarding carrying in public parks, restaurants that serve alcohol, and private vehicles, these locations may allow for concealed carry under certain conditions or with specific restrictions. For instance, concealed carry is permitted in public parks and in vehicles, provided certain laws are followed. Restaurants can allow concealed carry unless they are primarily engaged in serving alcohol and have designated areas where firearms are prohibited. However, the law clearly delineates school safety zones as areas where concealed carry is not permitted at all, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a secure environment for children.
