Possible move to Ohio

[Turfweazel]

I might have an opportunity to move to Ohio for work. I have a Indiana LTCH and Utah permit, will I be able to carry on the Utah permit until I get an Ohio permit?

Why not contact the Ohio ag and ask them? Or at the very least check out their web page.

Please check the info at: http://handgunlaw.us/states/ohio.pdf

But specifically, no, your plan is not legal in OH. Your Utah permit is valid but ONLY if you are an Indiana resident. Once your establish residency in OH, which you must do to begin the process of getting an Ohio permit, your Indiana LTCH and therefore your Utah permit are both invalid.

Ohio is tricky because you may OPEN CARRY without any permit but you have to follow special transportation rules when you are in your car. The details are all in that Handgun Law link above.

What part of Ohio?

That is what I figured for carrying on just the Utah. I will be looking at moving around the Dayton area.

We'll be moving to the Dayton area from TN. Overall not excited about the area but there are nice parts, we are looking at Bellbrook and the area to the SE of Dayton.

What kind of work do you do that would bring you to Dayton?

I've been traveling there for work for a while so if you have any questions about the area, let me know.

Romad thanks I will have to meet up with you if we are close. I guess I was just hoping I could carry on the Utah until I got the Ohio permit.

Similar situation with me. I have an Indiana LTCH and just moved to Mississippi. MS residents may OC without a permit but they require one to CC. Anyone know if my IN LTCH becomes invalid once I obtain a MS drivers license of if I can still CC as usual? I need to read into the MS laws more but I believe it says somewhere I need to be a resident for a year before I can apply for a MS CC permit....

Ohio....don't do it.

This requires more emphasis.
DON'T DO IT!!!!

Why the disgust for Ohio?

Why the disgust for Ohio?

Haters gonna hate. I grew up in Ohio, outside of Cleveland. The landscape and people are actually very similar to Indiana. Their gun laws are a TAD more restrictive, but I think you'll find the Buckeye state a good place to live.

I did just the oppisite. Born and raised in Ohio transfered to Chicago but live in Indiana ( and loving Indiana) i also have Utah but couldnt carry with it when becoming a hoosier. Ohio is more restrictive and law enforcement not nearly as nice as Indiana. LEO have a huge pet peeve about notification! The longer i live in Indiana the more i realy love this state. If i rember Ohio has a 12 hour course you must take. Not a big deal very easy. Look for work in Indiana.
