After how many years of residency in Ohio can you apply for a CCW permit?

Immediately upon becoming a resident
After 6 months
After 1 year
There is no residency duration requirement

The correct answer is: Immediately upon becoming a resident

If you say B, it implies you will already have a permit from a previous state or that the residency restrictions are less than the statewide six month requirement. If you say C, it implies you will have held a CCW permit in another state for more than a year before moving to Ohio and reapplying for your permit. If you say D, it implies that there are absolutely no restrictions on residency requirements, which is not the case. The correct answer is A, because you must be an Ohio resident for at least six months before applying for a CCW permit. This allows the state to do proper background checks and ensure that you meet all necessary requirements to carry a concealed weapon.
