OC is legal in Ohio, and OH has State Preemtion, which prohibits local governments from passing restrictive laws about carry. However, despite this state preemption law, some cities and municipalities have been recently trying to pass and enforce restrictions on carry above and beyond OH state law. So unless you want to be a "test case", you need to check up on the local laws that may attempt to restrict carry. Just because a law is illegal, doesn't mean they won't try to enforce it...
The following states have reciprocity with OH:
AK, AZ, AR, CO, DE, FL, ID, KY, MI, MO, NE, NC, OK, SC, TN, UT, VA, WA, WV, WY
Here is the OH Attorney General's website on concealed carry reciprocity--this is the OFFICIAL list of states with reciprocity agreements:

And here is the "uscarry.com" page on OH, but it is VERY out-of-date with regards to reciprocity states (OH revised their reciprocity agreements this year):

If you're from PA and want to carry concealed or in your vehicle in OH, the best thing to do is get a UT or VA non-resident permit--they are recognized in OH, regardless of where you reside...
