How long is an Ohio CCW permit valid?

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.
