ABOUT US

At OSA Defensive Training, we believe that self-defense is more than just a skill—it’s a mindset that empowers individuals to live with confidence and security. Our mission is to provide practical, real-world training that helps everyday people take charge of their personal safety.

We specialize in working with first-time shooters and beginners, guiding them through every step of the process with patience, clarity, and hands-on instruction. While we do offer advanced courses for those who wish to continue their journey, our true passion lies in helping people take those first critical steps toward becoming safe, capable, and responsibly armed citizens.

Over the years, our team has proudly trained more than 6,000 individuals in firearm safety and defensive skills. Each of those students came to us with unique goals—whether it was learning how to safely handle a firearm, gaining confidence in carrying concealed, or simply ensuring their families are better protected. Our instructors are dedicated to meeting students where they are, building a strong foundation, and giving them the tools they need to grow.

When you train with us, you’re not just taking a class—you’re joining a community of people who value safety, responsibility, and personal empowerment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Reciprocity When Traveling
Your Ohio CCW is recognized in many other states. Constitutional Carry only covers Ohio—so if you travel, your license lets you legally carry across state lines where reciprocity exists.

2. Legal Knowledge & Confidence
The training required for the CCW ensures you fully understand Ohio’s firearm laws, use-of-force laws, and safe carry practices. Many people feel more confident carrying after receiving structured instruction.

3. Proof of Responsibility
For some jobs, volunteer roles, or even private property policies, a CCW can show that you’re legally vetted and trained.

So while you can carry without one in Ohio, getting a CCW still provides significant legal, practical, and peace-of-mind advantages.


CHL holders undergo eight hours of training to earn a concealed-
handgun license. The training covers handgun operation, and safe
handling of guns and ammunition. In addition, these students are
required to spend two hours on a shooting range learning how to shoot
a pistol safely under the guidance of certified instructors. 

CHL is the abbreviation for Concealed Handgun License – CCW is the abbreviation for Concealed Carry Weapon – they are terms used interchangeably meaning the same thing.


Licenses expire five years after the date of issuance or renewal.
If you wish to renew your license, you may do so at any time.

Applicants residing in another state must renew with the sheriff who
issued their previous license. If you are no longer employed in Ohio,
you may not renew your license after it expires.

You must file a renewal application with the sheriff’s office, certify that
you have read this publication http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/CCWManual , and pay a nonrefundable fee.
