OH Gun Laws and Regulations
In Ohio, anyone at least 21 years of age is legally entitled to carry a firearm. Additionally, Ohio requires no permit, background check, or firearms registration when purchasing a gun from a private individual.
Concealed carry is legal in Ohio without a license except in any business selling alcohol or vehicles. Since it is not mentioned in any state statutes, the Federal minimum age for possessing a handgun of 21 years old applies. Therefore, the minimum age to carry concealed handguns is 21.
Ohio is now a "stand your ground" state based on the Governor's signing of SB 175 on January 4, 2021. That means there is no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person's residence, provided the person is in a place where the person has the lawful right to be. Learn more about that here.
Gun Ownership Statistics in Ohio*
- Registered Guns in 2021: 173,405
- Gun Ownership in 2021: 40% of the state's population

Learned a lot from our instructor
I learned a lot! I liked learning about how to safely hold the pistol and learning how to make sure the chamber is empty. All was awesome though thanks!
Great day with my boys
My boys and I had a great time visiting your virtual range for Father's Day. Your staff members were very knowledgeable, professional and made us feel right at home. We had a great time and will be visiting the virtual range again in the future.
Intro shooting class
The introductory course was well conceived and executed. As a firearm enthusiast of over 7 years, I learned something new from the staff. Their customer service is top-notch. All around this is a great place for people of all skill levels to either learn, train, or have fun!!! Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Great date night!
Engage Virtual Range is a great place for a fun, different “Date Night”. It’s great for anyone — whether you have experience w/fire arms or you’ve never even held one. You can work on your skills or just ‘play’ in a safe and comfortable environment. A must try!!
I had never held a gun
As a female Senior citizen, I never had experience holding a gun. When I was invited to come, I must say I was a bit skeptical at first but our trainer was so kind and explained everything so thoroughly, that I was amazed how I hit the mark!! I would HIGHLY recommend everyone to “Engage” at your location for a great time and exciting virtual experience. I learned a lot and realized age is only a number! Expand your horizons and try new things. I’m so very happy I went and look forward to going back again. Great team-building atmosphere and excellent for group outings! Thanks! I’ll be back!
