GOP Ohio Gov Signs Permitless Concealed Carry Bill

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports:

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill into law Monday doing away with the permitting restrictions to carrying a concealed firearm in the state.

Ohio law previously required eight hours of training, including live-fire practice, to obtain a concealed carry permit. A background check was required.
