Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Can Ohio CCW permit holders carry a firearm in a school safety zone?

1. Yes, at all times

2. Only if the school grants permission

3. Only if the firearm is unloaded and locked in a vehicle

4. No, it is never permitted

The correct answer is: Only if the firearm is unloaded and locked in a vehicle

While Ohio does allow CCW permit holders to carry a firearm in most public places, schools are considered "safety zones" and have stricter regulations. Option A is incorrect because there are limitations on when a CCW holder can carry in a school safety zone. Option B may seem like a possible answer since schools have the authority to grant or deny permission, but this option does not mention the additional requirements for carrying in a designated safety zone. Option D is incorrect as Ohio law does allow for CCW permit holders to carry in school safety zones under certain conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as this option specifically mentions the necessary steps that must be taken to legally carry a firearm in a school safety zone in Ohio.
