Potential Penalties

A violation of this Ohio law is generally a felony of the fifth degree and is punishable by up to 12 months in prison and a fine of up to $2500. Notably, even a concealed carry permit does not allow a person to carry a handgun in a courthouse unless that person is a law enforcement officer operating in the scope of their duties.
