Full description and what we offer
Joslyn Law Firm is a criminal defense firm specializing in firearm and concealed carry (CCW) violations throughout Ohio. They've handled over 20,000 criminal cases and maintain offices in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus to serve clients across the state.
Ohio residents can legally carry concealed weapons with a proper license, but violations carry serious penalties. Licensed CCW holders must:
- •Inform law enforcement immediately when stopped that they're carrying
- •Keep hands visible during police encounters
- •Not attempt to remove the handgun during any stop
- •Comply with all lawful orders from law enforcement
- •Produce the CCW license on demand
Fail to do any of this, and you're looking at misdemeanor or felony charges.
| Violation | Penalty |
|---|---|
| First-time violation | First degree misdemeanor: up to $1,000 fine + jail time |
| Repeat offense | Fifth degree felony |
| Carrying loaded firearm without license | Fourth degree felony: up to 18 months prison |
| Failure to notify officer | First degree misdemeanor: up to 180 days jail |
| Attempting to remove weapon during stop | Fifth degree felony |
Missing Your CCW License? You have 10 days to produce it if arrested in an authorized location and the license was valid at the time of the stop. This could reduce your charge to a minor misdemeanor instead of felony.
To legally carry concealed in Ohio, you must:
- •Be 21 years or older
- •Be an Ohio resident for at least 45 days
- •Reside in the county issuing the license for 30 days
- •Complete fingerprinting
- •Provide certification of firearm competency
- •Submit a recent color photo (taken within 30 days)
- •Complete the full application with your county's Concealed Carry Permit Office
You cannot conceal carry: dangerous ordnance, deadly weapons other than handguns, or any handgun classified as dangerous ordnance.
