I have a Facebook "friend" who was posting about a crazy-looking and -acting guy in a local fast-food joint in her Ohio town. Said guy was open carrying and she was uncomfortable about that. I know Ohio is an open carry state, so I posited that OH probably requires a license to carry, regardless. She said no, open carry requires no license at all. I checked Wikipedia and all it says is that a license is required for concealed carry, doesn't mention requirement for open.

Anyone know what Ohio law really does require for carrying openly?
 
I'd stay away from Wikipedia as a source of gun laws

Did you know that not only is open carry a legal activity in Ohio, but that you do not need a license (concealed carry permit, or anything) to open carry? As long as you can legally own and possess that firearm, you can legally open carry it (This does not apply to restricted zones, transportation in a motor vehicle, or entry into a class D liquor establishment). For a complete list of laws and how-to's please click here). Most people (some law enforcement included) do not know this, and we find that troubling. We are here to spread education about open carry and guns in general and take the fear and misconceptions out of the public.
 
Open carry is good to go... there are restrictions on where though
