Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

In Ohio, which of the following is considered a valid reason for the sheriff to deny a CCW permit application?

1. The applicant has a felony conviction

2. The applicant failed to provide proper documentation

3. The applicant has a misdemeanor conviction for a violent crime

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

A A felony conviction is a serious offense and can indicate a potential danger to society if granted a CCW permit. Therefore, it is a valid reason for the sheriff to deny the application. B: Proper documentation is required in order to properly evaluate the applicant's qualifications for the CCW permit. Without it, the sheriff cannot determine if the applicant meets the necessary requirements, making it a valid reason for denial. C: A misdemeanor conviction for a violent crime also raises concerns about the applicant's potential for violence and danger to society if granted a CCW permit, making it a valid reason for denial. D: This answer is correct because all of the options listed are valid reasons for the sheriff to deny a CCW permit application. Each reason highlights potential red flags that could prevent an applicant from safely carrying a concealed weapon.
