In Ohio, can a private property owner forbid carrying a concealed firearm on their premises?
Yes, by posting a sign
No, CCW holders have overriding rights
Yes, but only in certain cities
No, unless alcohol is served on the premises
The correct answer is: Yes, by posting a sign
A private property owner in Ohio can forbid carrying a concealed firearm on their premises by posting a sign. This means that options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that CCW holders have some sort of overriding right, or that there are exceptions such as certain cities or alcohol being served on the premises. None of these options are relevant to the right of a private property owner to forbid carrying a concealed firearm on their property. In Ohio, a sign indicating that firearms are not allowed is sufficient to prohibit concealed carry on private property.
