How far does background check to get a gun permit in Ohio?

Answer 1

No state permit or license is required to purchase a handgun, rifle, or shotgun in Ohio.


Of course, it is unlawful to sell a handgun to a person under 21, or any firearm to a person under 18.


It is unlawful for the following persons to knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any firearm:

• Fugitives.
• Persons indicted for or convicted of a violent felony or adjudicated delinquent child for the commission of an offense that if committed by an adult, would have been a violent felony.
• Persons indicted for or convicted of a drug offense, or adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been an offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse.
• Alcoholics and drug-dependent persons.
• Adjudicated mental incompetents.
• Persons disqualified under the second or third item above may obtain relief from disability from the court of common pleas by presenting facts showing fitness for relief from the state disabilities.
