Ohio has allowed permitless concealed carry since June 2022 for adults 21 and over who are not prohibited, and open carry is lawful. Schools, courthouses, police stations and posted property remain off limits. The concealed handgun licence is still issued by the Mahoning County Sheriff and adds reciprocity in other states.
Ohio's deer gun season opens on the Monday after Thanksgiving and runs a week, with a two-day bonus gun weekend in mid-December and archery from late September. Bag limits are set county by county, so check the Division of Wildlife table for Mahoning County. Legal guns are shotguns with slugs, muzzleloaders, handguns and rifles chambered in straight-walled cartridges; bottleneck centerfire rifles are not allowed for deer.
Mahoning County is the Mahoning Valley's former steel country with farmland south and the Grand River wildlife area's state range half an hour north; deer gun week follows Thanksgiving with straight-wall rifles.
Grand River's state range takes rifles and shotguns, and Ohio's straight-wall rule puts .350 Legend uppers on local lowers for deer.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to test a trigger.
