I just added this comment to my latest on AmmoLand:
I may have misinterpreted Ohio law in re permitless carry in D-class liquor permit premises. I had trouble trying to find an authoritative source to clarify and ended up being guided by an AI web crawl that said:
“In Ohio, a person with a gun is not exempt from the prohibition on carrying firearms in liquor-permitted establishments, even under the new permitless carry law, unless they possess a valid Concealed Handgun License (CHL). The state’s permitless carry law does not change the specific exemption granted to CHL holders for carrying in these locations.”
Yeah, I know– I should know better.
I see from further reading that:
“As of June 13, that exemption also applies to qualifying adults, meaning that any qualifying adult may now lawfully carry a concealed handgun in D-class premises.”
I’ll attempt to track this down– in the meantime, if anyone has actual legal knowledge, please weigh in. I apologize if it turns out my permitless carry statement was wrong and misleading.
