Who is eligible to apply for an Ohio CCW permit?

  1. Any resident of the United States

  2. Only Ohio residents

  3. Ohio residents and residents of neighboring states

  4. Any U.S. citizen with no criminal background

The correct answer is: Only Ohio residents

The correct answer is B because Ohio state law requires applicants to be a current resident of Ohio. Option A may seem plausible, but it does not take into consideration that each state has its own laws regarding CCW permits. Option C is incorrect because it only mentions Ohio residents and residents of neighboring states, without specifying which states. Option D is incorrect because although being a U.S. citizen is a requirement, not having a criminal background is also required. Additionally, any U.S. citizen, regardless of state residency, cannot apply for an Ohio CCW permit.
