How does Ohio law treat carrying a concealed weapon without a permit?

As a minor misdemeanor
As a felony offense
With a mandatory community service
As a legal act for residents over 21

The correct answer is: As a felony offense

Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in Ohio is treated as a felony offense. This means it is considered a serious crime with potentially severe consequences, such as imprisonment and a permanent criminal record. Option A, a minor misdemeanor, is not as drastic as a felony and usually carries lighter penalties. Option C, mandatory community service, is a possible penalty for a conviction of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit but it is not the primary way Ohio law treats this offense. Lastly, option D, allowing residents over 21 to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, is not the case in Ohio. Regardless of age, a permit is required to legally carry a concealed weapon in the state.
