Permitting weapons in our buildings is prohibited as marked on each building. Outside of our buildings citizens may have a ccw on his/her persons as outlined by the State CCW Law and must follow all laws required by the State of Ohio.

What are your rules and/or policies regarding open carry of handguns for private citizens within the metroparks areas?
Also please elaborate on concealed carrying of handguns should you have different policies for each method of carry.
Thank You,

No mention of Open carrying , just CCW .........Is a follow up necessary to clarify??
Thank you for your prompt reply regarding CCW / CHL regulations within your Metropark areas.
I may have not made it clear in the original e-mail I sent , I am also interested in your regulations within the Metropark areas regarding open carrying of firearms by those citizens without a CCW / CHL.

The following is a section of the Ohio Revised Code which defines the law.
2923.12 Carrying concealed weapons.
(A) No person shall knowingly carry or have, concealed on the person’s person or concealed ready at hand, any of the following:
(1) A deadly weapon other than a handgun;
(2) A handgun other than a dangerous ordnance;
(3) A dangerous ordnance.
(B) No person who has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun 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 shall do any of the following:
(1) If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and is carrying a concealed handgun , fail to promptly inform any law enforcement officer who approaches the person after the person has been stopped that the person has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun and that the person then is carrying a concealed handgun;
(2) If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and if the person is carrying a concealed handgun, knowingly fail to keep the person’s hands in plain sight at any time after any law enforcement officer begins approaching the person while stopped and before the law enforcement officer leaves, unless the failure is pursuant to and in accordance with directions given by a law enforcement officer;
(3) If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose, if the person is carrying a concealed handgun, and if the person is approached by any law enforcement officer while stopped, knowingly remove or attempt to remove the loaded handgun from the holster, pocket, or other place in which the person is carrying it, knowingly grasp or hold the loaded handgun, or knowingly have contact with the loaded handgun by touching it with the person’s hands or fingers at any time after the law enforcement officer begins approaching and before the law enforcement officer leaves, unless the person removes, attempts to remove, grasps, holds, or has contact with the loaded handgun pursuant to and in accordance with directions given by the law enforcement officer;
(4) If the person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and if the person is carrying a concealed handgun, knowingly disregard or fail to comply with any lawful order of any law enforcement officer given while the person is stopped, including, but not limited to, a specific order to the person to keep the person’s hands in plain sight.
(C)(1) This section does not apply to any of the following:
(a) An officer, agent, or employee of this or any other state or the United States, or to a law enforcement officer, who is authorized to carry concealed weapons or dangerous ordnance or is authorized to carry handguns and is acting within the scope of the officer’s, agent’s, or employee’s duties;
(b) Any person who is employed in this state, who is authorized to carry concealed weapons or dangerous ordnance or is authorized to carry handguns, and who is subject to and in compliance with the requirements of section 109.801 of the Revised Code, unless the appointing authority of the person has expressly specified that the exemption provided in division (C)(1)(b) of this section does not apply to the person.
(2) Division (A)(2) of this section does not apply to any person who, at the time of the alleged carrying or possession of a handgun, 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 described in division (B) of section 2923.126 of the Revised Code.
I actually called the Chief Ranger here in the Dayton area and brought him up to speed on the new laws... he wasn't very happy about it and said he would check it out and get back to me... Still waiting.. think I will call him tomorrow.
Got a call from the Chief Ranger and it did not go well.. touched bases with OFCC and we are going to develope a plan to confront this.. Will let you know when I know..
Just what I suspected..........Due to many private entities taking over control of state and city properties to maintain under contract........They are enacting no carry laws under private ownership. Lease and ownership fall under the same laws regarding personal property rights.
Following that logic, then the buildings at the State Fair Grounds would be okay for carry when they are leased out to private enterprises (e.g. Equine Affair or Quarter Horse Congress).
Somehow, I doubt that their logic would be consistent.
