Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Which one is NOT a valid reason for denying an Ohio CCW permit application?

1. Having a misdemeanor drug conviction

2. Failing to disclose prior convictions on application

3. Being under 21 years of age

4. Not being a resident of Ohio

The correct answer is: Having a misdemeanor drug conviction

A misdemeanor drug conviction is a valid reason for denying an Ohio CCW permit application. Ohio law prohibits individuals with certain misdemeanor drug convictions from obtaining a CCW permit. The other options, failing to disclose prior convictions, being under 21 years of age, and not being a resident of Ohio, are all valid reasons for denying an Ohio CCW permit application as well. Failure to disclose prior convictions may show a lack of honesty and responsibility, being under 21 years of age does not meet the minimum age requirement for obtaining a CCW permit, and not being a resident of Ohio disqualifies an individual from obtaining an Ohio CCW permit.
