Can you openly carry a firearm in Ohio without a CCW permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No, it is strictly prohibited

  4. Yes, in places where it is not explicitly forbidden

The correct answer is: Yes, in places where it is not explicitly forbidden

In Ohio, open carry of firearms is legal without a CCW permit, as long as it is not explicitly prohibited in certain locations such as schools, government buildings, and certain businesses that declare themselves as gun-free zones. Option A is incorrect because while open carry is allowed, there are still specific locations where it is not allowed. Option B is incorrect because rural areas do not have different regulations regarding open carry. Option C is incorrect because open carry is not strictly prohibited in Ohio.
