A person not prohibited from owning a firearm is able to carry a handgun concealed without obtaining a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). Ohio has joined twenty-nine (29) other states which have enacted Permitless carry. An excellent article about Ohio's Permitless carry by the Buckeye Firearms Association can be accessed --> "Answers to Common Questions about Ohio’s New Permitless Carry Law."
To be able to carry your handgun for self-defense in states that do not have Permitless carry; you need to have two elements present:
1.) A Concealed Handgun License issued by your jurisdiction of residence;
2.) An Agreement of Reciprocity between your state of residence and the state you are visiting or a non-resident CHL if the destination state issues them.
The state of Ohio has entered into Reciprocity Agreements with thirty-eight other states which allow you to carry a handgun for protection under your Ohio Concealed Handgun License. You can view the list of states in which Ohio has entered into reciprocity agreements with here--> Ohio Reciprocity Agreements.
Should you get your CHL? If you want to take full advantage of your right to self-defense when traveling to other states, obtaining your CHL would be the logical step.
