Disclaimer: Carrying in vehicles is not addressed in the Constitutional Carry bill. However, according to the Ohio Attorney General, it is legal to possess a loaded firearm in a vehicle.

Doing so is a felony under state and federal law. You may carry a concealed handgun into a bar, restaurant or other place in which alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises as long as: 1. You have not already consumed alcohol and do not consume alcohol on the premises.

However, the law also preserves the concealed carry licensing program, which includes a photo ID card. But, since any Ohio resident (age 21 or older) can carry a concealed weapon without a permit if they have not been prohibited, concealed carry permits are no longer required.

Firearm Prohibitions in Ohio Under federal law, people are generally prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms if they have been convicted of a felony or some domestic violence misdemeanors, or if they are subject to certain court orders related to domestic violence or a serious mental condition.
