Can you carry in Ohio with a District of Columbia permit?
Yes, for eligible adults.
Ohio allows permitless concealed carry for eligible adults, so no CCW license is required. Your District of Columbia permit is not part of a formal reciprocity agreement, but none is needed to carry legally.
Ohio entry reviewed May 17, 2026. For planning, not legal advice. Confirm with official sources before you travel.
