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 Greene 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 Greene County. Legal guns are shotguns with slugs, muzzleloaders, handguns and rifles chambered in straight-walled cartridges; bottleneck centerfire rifles are not allowed for deer.
Greene County is Miami Valley farmland with the Spring Valley Wildlife Area and its state range inside the county; deer gun week follows Thanksgiving with straight-wall rifles, slugs and muzzleloaders.
Spring Valley's state range is minutes away with rifle, pistol and shotgun lines, which makes this one of the easiest places in Ohio to teach a child to shoot.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, and several run hunter-education and youth programmes. 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 go.
