What does it mean for Ohio to be a 'shall issue' state regarding CCW permits?

Permits are issued only to law enforcement personnel
Permits must be issued if the applicant meets all legal requirements
Permits are issued at the discretion of local authorities
Non-residents cannot be issued permits

The correct answer is: Permits must be issued if the applicant meets all legal requirements

A 'shall issue' state means that permits must be issued to applicants who meet all legal requirements. This option is the only one that accurately reflects the definition of 'shall issue'. Option A is incorrect because it limits the issuance of permits only to law enforcement personnel, rather than any qualified applicant. Option C is incorrect because it implies that local authorities have the discretion to decide whether or not to issue a permit, which is not the case in a 'shall issue' state. Option D is incorrect because it restricts non-residents from obtaining CCW permits, which is not related to the definition of 'shall issue'.
