Is a background check required for an Ohio CCW permit?

No, but it is for purchasing a firearm
Yes, including a federal NICS check
Yes, but only Ohio state records are checked
No, only a mental health check is required

The correct answer is: Yes, including a federal NICS check

A background check is required for purchasing a firearm in Ohio, but this is separate from the background check required for an Ohio CCW permit. Option A is incorrect because it implies that a background check is not required at all, which is not true. Option C is incorrect because it only mentions Ohio state records being checked, but a federal NICS check is also required for an Ohio CCW permit. Option D is incorrect because a mental health check is only one aspect of the background check, other factors such as criminal history and domestic violence charges are also considered. Option B is the correct answer because it includes all the necessary information about the background check requirement for an Ohio CCW permit, including the federal NICS check.
