Attorney General Mike DeWine
Over 110,000
Conceal Carry Licenses Issued or Renewed in 2014
(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today issued a
report indicating that more than 110,000 concealed carry licenses were
issued or renewed in Ohio in 2014, according to data compiled by Ohio’s
county sheriffs.
The following total concealed carry numbers were reported to the
Attorney General's Office from county sheriffs in Ohio for the calendar
year of 2014:
Number of New Licenses Issued: 58,066
Number of Licenses Renewed: 52,146
Total Licenses Issued: 110,212
“The large number of license renewals reflects the significant number
of licenses that were issued five years ago and were up for renewal
last year,” Attorney General DeWine said. “We thank Ohio’s county
sheriffs for their continued cooperation in providing this information
about the use of Ohio's concealed carry law.”
The Attorney General’s Office compiles an annual report as required by
law about the number of licenses issued each year. (Licenses expire
five years after their issue date.) Each sheriff must report concealed
handgun license statistics quarterly to the Ohio Peace Officer Training
Commission within the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.
