Ace the Ohio CCW Test 2026 – Lock, Load, and License Up!

In Ohio, the only requirement for obtaining a CHL (concealed handgun license) is completing a firearms safety course taught by a certified instructor. Option A, an NRA-certified course, may meet this requirement but is not the only option. Option B, the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy course, is not applicable because it is meant for law enforcement officers, not civilians. Option D, no training required, is incorrect as completing a firearms safety course is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a CHL in Ohio. Thus, option C, any firearms safety course taught by a certified instructor, is the correct answer.
