"Open Carry. Ohio’s concealed carry laws do not regulate “open” carry of firearms. If you openly carry, use caution. The open carry of firearms is a legal activity in Ohio."
looks like there is no permit to carry openly in Ohio. I would guess that only applies when don't start pointing your firearm at people.
Dang, wish I knew that. Would make me a whole lot safer when I visit family in Toledo.
My CCW phone app shows Ohio as "Open carry with permit; open carry without a permit legal but with additional prohibitions (Open carry within a vehicle requires a permit).
Open carry w/o permit is not prohibited by law, but law enforcement interpretations and reactions can vary.
Ohio honors permits from all states but Vermont.
