TOLEDO, Ohio — Senate Bill 215 was passed into law in March. The bill removes the requirement for Ohio gun owners to have a concealed carry permit. The law goes into effect on Monday.
If someone is stopped by law enforcement, they wouldn't have to immediately tell an officer that they're carrying a fire arm.
Toledo Police posted a video to their Facebook page on Friday, answering some of the questions people may have about the new law.
Sergeant Adam Fish explained the law allows anyone to carry a concealed weapon, unless already prohibited from owning a weapon.
"A qualifying adult is anyone of 21 years of age or older not legally prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm. A qualifying adult is also subject to the same restrictions that apply to a person who has been issued a concealed handgun license."
Sgt. Fish recommended anyone with questions to visit the Ohio Attorney General's Office website at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.
