High school parking lot

Post by smokewagon »

Reading Ohio laws about school property carry. More specifically Section 2923.122 of the Revised Code. Am I correct to assume I can have a pistol locked in the vehicle in the parking lot?
The reason I'm looking into this is the construction company I work for is doing an addition to a High school. Obviously I park my personal vehicle in the school lot. I'd hate to have to disarm before leaving the house.

Correct. Section (D)(4) provides an exception if you lock the handgun in your vehicle (assuming you have a CHL, of course):
(4) This section does not apply to a person who conveys or attempts to convey a handgun into, or possesses a handgun in, a school safety zone if at the time of that conveyance, attempted conveyance, or possession of the handgun all of the following apply:

(a) The person is carrying a valid concealed handgun license or the person is an active duty member of the armed forces of the United States and is carrying a valid military identification card and documentation of successful completion of firearms training that meets or exceeds the training requirements described in division (G)(1) of section 2923.125 of the Revised Code.

(b) The person leaves the handgun in a motor vehicle .

(c) The handgun does not leave the motor vehicle.

(d) If the person exits the motor vehicle, the person locks the motor vehicle.

That's good to hear I do some service work at schools on musical instruments. I also have a CCL
