Under Ohio law, when must a CCW permit holder inform a police officer that they are carrying a concealed weapon?

Only when asked by the officer
Only if the officer suspects they are carrying a weapon
Immediately upon being stopped by the officer
Only if they are carrying the weapon openly

The correct answer is: Immediately upon being stopped by the officer

In Ohio, CCW permit holders are legally required to immediately inform a police officer of their concealed weapon when they are stopped for any reason. This means that they must inform the officer even if they are not specifically asked about it or if the officer has no suspicion that they are carrying a weapon. Option A is incorrect because it implies that the CCW permit holder only needs to disclose their weapon if the officer specifically asks about it, which is not the case under Ohio law. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the CCW permit holder only needs to disclose their weapon if the officer has a suspicion that they are carrying one, but this is also not the case. Option D is incorrect because it states that the CCW permit holder only needs to disclose their weapon if they are carrying it openly, but in fact, the law applies to concealed weapons.
