A dumb concealed carry question?

[Mainsail]

If I were to do such a thing, I would keep the gun in the holster because a gun in a holster cannot be ‘accidentally’ discharged. That said, I do not believe in leaving my gun in the car; there’s no point in arming a car thief.

As for Wal-Mart, I open carry in there usually without drama. I had to deal with one low level manager who thought it was illegal or against store policy but he was corrected.

Wal-Marts go by the gun laws in the state they are located. So if open carry is legal in the state and/or city, it's legal in the wal-mart.

okay, so here's a question for those who have been through ohio CC course (I'm planning on attending this year), or maybe someone else who knows. If you're not licensed to conceal, your only option in public is to open carry. If a store manager asks you to either leave or cover up, Is it legal to conceal it while in the store without a permit. I would believe that could be covered under the same thing as being permitted by a property owner to carry concealed in their home, but with it being a public place, it could be dicey. Anyone know the ruling on that? Otherwise, if they tell you to cover up, it'd be illegal.

I wish our state would get on the wagon and start hashing out useful carry laws instead of vague areas of uncertainty.

Ohio Attorney General Concealed Carry Law Overview

All I know is that it is illegal to carry conceal without a liscense. Before the law changed, you had to have your firearm in "plain sight" while in your car. So who knows what you need to have.

I don't know the present laws about open carry in Ohio, I'll check Ohio's laws and read through the codes. Unless someone finds out first.

Talk about a thread hijack...

In Arizona we have open carry and I see people open carry in WalMart frequently. Do it myself from time to time. When I'm not working I carry one of my .45s in a belt slide holster.
A law passed last year requires places that don't allow firearms to provide secure lock boxes for firearms and to give the owner the key. Further, the lock boxes must be near the entrance.
If the store/office/whatever doesn't have secure storage available the gun owner may carry the gun on the premises. This also applies to government offices.
The reasoning is that a gun locked in a car is less secure than a gun on an individual.
The only exemptions are airports and schools.
And, a law in front of the legislature will permit licensed CCW holders to carry in schools if it passes. The thinking there is it is better to have a teacher on site with a gun if some whack job starts shooting.
There are some things I hate about AZ laws, but the gun laws aren't among them.

Ohio Revised Code 1547.69 Firearm prohibitions.

The way that it's worded implies that you are not allowed to openly carry a firearm unless you're at the range, hunting or have a concealed carry permit. Unless someone knows something in addition, but this is all I could find concerning carrying of firearms in Ohio's Revised Code.

Also not sure if it just refers to "vessels"

(C) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a vessel in a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger.

(D) No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a vessel unless it is unloaded and is carried in one of the following ways:

(1) In a closed package, box, or case;

(2) In plain sight with the action opened or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or that cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.

(2) Divisions (C) and (D) of this section do not apply to a person who transports or possesses a handgun in a vessel and who, at the time of that transportation or possession, is carrying a valid license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun issued to the person under section 2923.125 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code or a license to carry a concealed handgun that was issued by another state with which the attorney general has entered into a reciprocity agreement under section 109.69 of the Revised Code, unless the person knowingly is in a place on the vessel described in division (B) of section 2923.126 of the Revised Code.

They can put up all the signs they want, it's unenforcable. Winn Dixie had the same signs on the door, and someone took them to court, and the removed the signs. I had a partner in the gym business who didn't want guns in the club, the problem is that 30% of the members were cops, so I called the city up, and they said he could have the sign up, but it was't enforcable, so i'm basing my answer on my experiences with it. That's in FL

CCW and OC

i am a little late here but i will throw my two cents in....... where i live in nebraska, i can ccw. but there is a city ordinance against it. you can carry open (have not tried walmart yet) but then all it takes is one phone call and you can get charged with "Disturbing the Peace"!! it is not a good situation to find yourself in, and if you get the wrong LEO then you WILL get charged with it. so OC is not always a fail safe. just MY known .02
