(Chardon) - "Don't believe everything you read on the internet." Well, actually, that should be, unless it's from a reliable source. In this case, the source is Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand.
Sheriff Hildenbrand posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page that yes, it is perfectly legal to carry a concealed weapon while wearing a face mask for COVID-19, as long as you have a CCW permit through your local sheriff's office.
The sheriff said on Facebook that he's fieleded several calls about the rumor on social media that if you have a CCW you cannot carry a weapon while wearing a face mask. He said, in all caps, "It is NOT ILLEGAL for a valid CCW holder to carry your weapon while wearing a mask."
