Are background checks required every time a CCW permit is renewed in Ohio?

  1. Yes, without exception

  2. No, only for the first application

  3. Yes, but only every other renewal

  4. Yes, at each renewal

The correct answer is: Yes, at each renewal

Unlike some states where background checks are only required for the initial application for a CCW permit, Ohio requires background checks to be conducted at every renewal period. Option A is incorrect because there are exceptions to this requirement. Option B and C are incorrect because background checks are also required for renewals and not just for initial applications. In Ohio, a background check is necessary at each renewal to ensure that the individual still meets the eligibility requirements to carry a concealed weapon.
