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

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but only in rural areas
No, it is strictly prohibited
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.
