How long is an Ohio CCW permit valid?

  1. 1 year

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 5 years

An Ohio CCW (concealed carry weapon) permit is valid for 5 years. A is incorrect because it is too short of a duration. B is incorrect because it is also not long enough, and D is incorrect because the permit does have an expiration date, even though it can be renewed indefinitely. Officials want to ensure that permit holders are still suitable to be carrying a weapon, so requiring a renewal every 5 years is necessary. This system helps to keep the community safe.
