Free Forum: Constitutional Carry—What Does It Actually Mean?

Ohio allows you to carry a firearm without a permit—but do you fully understand what that means?

The laws around Constitutional Carry can be vague and ambiguous, leaving many gun owners vulnerable to legal trouble they never intended. One wrong assumption could lead to felony prosecution.

Join Master Instructor JJ Bittinger for a live educational forum that breaks down the real differences between Ohio’s Constitutional Carry law and obtaining a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). He’ll also cover:

  • What the law actually allows—and where it stops

  • How to avoid common legal pitfalls

  • The responsibilities that come with carrying a firearm

  • What it means to be truly prepared, not just legally armed

JJ will take your questions live and offer clear, practical insights for every level of experience.

At Hot Shots Shooting Center, we proudly support the Second Amendment and your right to carry. We also believe in responsible gun ownership—and that starts with being informed and prepared.

Our mission is to help you protect yourself and others—and be truly ready to save lives when it matters most.
We’re not just here to teach—we’re here to make sure you’re ready.

Feel free to bring a guest. We look forward to seeing you there.

Very friendly and professional team. This type of training range is much needed in today's approach to events involving real life scenarios. That you just cannot simulate during live fire. This type of training and interaction rather you are a law abiding citizen, first responder, law enforcement officer, correctional officer, private security, etc. Will allow a more hands on approach with weapon systems, while introducing communication and de-escalation techniques. I am looking forward to seeing all the possibilities Hot Shoots has to offer. Rather you are well experienced or have never even dreamt of touching a firearm but curiosity is calling. There is something for every individual that comes through their doors. This establishment and the Milo training system. Will bring a much needed awareness to protecting yourself as well as loved ones. Or even strengthen your knowledge and abilities in the field. I also believe this will bring strength to our community. And maybe even open up some needed conversations as to why the 2nd amendment and right to self protection is so important. In a world growing darker by the day. I highly recommend and encourage those reading this to take the time and visit this establishment. It's never to late to learn something new or to become better skilled. Much love and God Bless
