Is open carry of a handgun legal in Ohio without a CCW permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No, it is strictly prohibited

  4. Yes, but with certain restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with certain restrictions

Open carry of a handgun in Ohio is generally legal with a CCW permit, but there are certain restrictions that need to be followed. For example, the handgun must be in plain sight and the individual must not be in a prohibited location. Option A is incorrect because even with a CCW permit, there are still certain restrictions that need to be followed when open carrying. Option B is incorrect because the permit is required in all areas, not just rural areas. Option C is incorrect because open carry is not strictly prohibited, as it is allowed with a CCW permit.
