Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) Practice Exam

Which of these locations is prohibited for carrying a concealed weapon in Ohio?

1. Restaurants serving alcohol

2. Churches

3. School safety zones

4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: School safety zones

Carrying a concealed weapon is prohibited in school safety zones in Ohio, as stated in Ohio Revised Code 2923.126. This area includes buildings, structures and outdoor areas which are used primarily for school activity, while a school event is ongoing, or while students are being transported to or from school premises. The other options, restaurants serving alcohol, churches, and private vehicles, may not be specifically mentioned in the law, but it is still generally illegal to carry a concealed weapon in these places unless authorized by the owner. For example, some private vehicles may have signs that prohibit weapons on their property. Additionally, if a restaurant or church is located within a school safety zone, it would also be prohibited to carry a concealed weapon in those areas. It is important to always check specific laws and regulations in your state or city regarding concealed weapon laws to ensure compliance and avoid any potential legal consequences.
