What kind of background check is required for a Concealed Carry License in Ohio?

  1. Criminal and mental health

  2. Criminal only

  3. Credit and criminal

  4. Criminal, credit, and employment

The correct answer is: Criminal and mental health

A Concealed Carry License in Ohio requires a criminal and mental health background check. This is to ensure that individuals with a history of violent crimes or mental illness do not have access to firearms. Options B, C, and D all include either incomplete or unnecessary types of background checks, making them incorrect choices. While having a good credit score and stable employment can be helpful indicators of responsibility, they do not necessarily affect the safety risks associated with carrying a concealed weapon. Therefore, option A is the most relevant and necessary type of background check for a Concealed Carry License in Ohio.
