How long is an Ohio CCW license valid before it needs renewal?

Ohio CCW licenses are valid for five years. This is the standard duration for concealed carry weapon licenses in many states. It allows enough time for individuals to complete any required training and to keep track of the expiration date. Option B, 3 years, is too short of a validity period and would require more frequent renewals. Option C, 10 years, is too long and may not adequately ensure that individuals are keeping up-to-date with training and regulations. Option D, 7 years, is close but still falls short of the correct answer, 5 years.
