Currently in Ohio, in order to obtain a concealed handgun license, which is valid for five years, an Ohio resident must submit an application to the county sheriff, pay an initial $67 fee, pass a background check, and meet the minimum educational requirements, which include completing eight hours of training (at least two of which must be in-person training) and passing a written test.
Effective June 13, Ohio Senate Bill No. 215, which Governor Mike DeWine has already signed into law, will permit a qualifying adult to legally carry, possess, or conceal a handgun without a license, background check, or training requirements.
A qualifying adult means a person who is 21 or older, not legally prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm under federal law or state law, and satisfies various criteria listed in Ohio Revised Code (R.C.) 2923.125.
In general, the new law still permits employers to establish, maintain, and enforce policies prohibiting individuals from carrying handguns or firearms in company buildings or within company vehicles.
Furthermore, it states that private employers are "immune from liability in a civil action for any injury, death, or loss to person or property that allegedly was caused by or related to a [person] bringing a handgun onto the premises or property of the private employer, including motor vehicles owned by the private employer, unless the private employer acted with malicious purpose."
