Ohio SB 392 would change concealed-weapons license definitions, covered weapon types, and permitted carry locations
State bill SB392 — Ohio — status: in committee
Official title: Regards concealed weapons license, weapon types, carry locations
What it does
Senate Bill 392 would amend Ohio law concerning concealed weapons licenses by updating which weapon types fall under the license and by changing the list of locations where licensees may carry. The bill was introduced in 2025 and was referred to the Ohio Senate General Government Committee on March 25, 2026. The measure's text proposes revisions to definitions and location rules rather than creating a new licensing program.
Industry impact
If enacted, the bill could require FFLs and manufacturers to update customer-facing materials and training to reflect any expanded or narrowed scope of licensed weapons. Retailers may need to revise store policies and on-premises signage about where licensees may carry; that could affect in-store security practices and employee training. NFA/SOT holders should review the final language for any change in how regulated items (e.g., short-barreled rifles, suppressors) are treated under the concealed-weapons licensing scheme, since that could affect lawful carry and transfer guidance.
