On Monday, June 13, Senate Bill 215 takes effect, allowing "qualifying adults" in Ohio to carry a concealed handgun without the need for a concealed handgun license.
Qualifying adults are 21 years of age or older, legal residents, not fugitives, not
subject to a protection order, have not been hospitalized or adjudicated mentally ill, have not been dishonorably discharged from the military, do not have a conviction or delinquency for a felony, a drug offense, domestic violence, one misdemeanor offense
of violence within three years or two within five years, or are not otherwise forbidden under state or federal law.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC:
Regardless of the recent change in Ohio's concealed carry law, deadly
weapons are still prohibited in buildings within which a courthouse is
located, such as the County Office Building and Courthouse. Ohio law
section 2923.123 still makes it a felony crime to bring in or have a
deadly weapon or dangerous ordinance in a courthouse or into
another building in which a courtroom is located, except for law
enforcement officers in their official duties.
Ohio law prohibits people from bringing weapons into court houses.
2923.123 states that:
(A) No person shall knowingly convey or attempt to convey a deadly weapon or
dangerous ordnance into a courthouse or into another building or structure in which a
courtroom is located.
(B) No person shall knowingly possess or have under the person's control a deadly
weapon or dangerous ordnance in a courthouse or in another building or structure in
which a courtroom is located.
