Stun Gun Laws
Is Stun Gun Legal In OHIO?
Stun Gun in OH is Legal.
Legal Ohio has no stun-gun-specific permit requirement. Concealed carry of a "deadly weapon other than a handgun" relies on an affirmative lawful-purpose defense under R.C. § 2923.12, not a license, and stun guns are not separately named in R.C. § 2923.11. A previously-published "valid permit" claim was not supported by these statutes and has been removed — it likely reflected confusion with Ohio's separate concealed handgun license (CHL) system. Statute: R.C. §§ 2923.11, 2923.12 Source: Official Ohio Revised Code (codes.ohio.gov) This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change.
