cleveland convention center
Was just at the new convention center in downtown cleveland tonight. Was fully expecting gun buster signs as I thought this was a government type building. To my surprise I didn't see any signs. However there were about a dozen sets of glass doors and didn't get to check them all and left my gun locked in the glove box already. I'm not sure if it just isn't properly posted or if people can carry there. I'm guessing not properly posted.

Doesn't Cuyahoga County own the convention center?
You really shouldn't need a gun while there. Their security will take care of you.

Pretty much everything I post has at least a hint of sarcasm, I kinda figured it was a given.JonasM wrote:You forgot the /sarc tag.

Re: cleveland convention center
That's the part I'm trying to figure out. If it is I have no problem with it being posted properly. I may not agree with it but that's another fight. The fact that I saw no signs on the door I walked in or any adjacent doors could lead to someone getting in trouble. It may have been posted but it does no good if it's posted on a different door 50 feet away from the one I walked in.pirateguy191 wrote:Doesn't Cuyahoga County own the convention center?
This is why I feel our no carry sign law needs to be more clear.

Re: cleveland convention center
It may be owned by the county but it is operated by a private company, which is why it's staffed with private security guards and not sheriff's deputies among other things. Unless it's a regular working place for public officials then the private company would be within their rights to not post.

Re: cleveland convention center
Doesn't it have to be conspicuously posted? I figured a posted business would have to post at every public entrance. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong because that's the assumption I have been under.

Yes, but if it's government owned where government employees are regularly present, then while it's suppose to be posted (there's no penalty if they don't), it's still on you for knowing you can't enter it while armed. Yup, great law there. /pirates sarcasm.Mortar34 wrote:Doesn't it have to be conspicuously posted? I figured a posted business would have to post at every public entrance.

The key on this building will be are government employees regularly present. Sharonville Ohio's convention center is owned by the city, pretty much privately run, but all events are booked by a government employee that her office is right inside the building. I think she has an assistant as well. Two full time employees and the rest is all contracted out. Interestingly on that aspect, it's where the Bill Goodman's show is always held. Now doesn't that just propose a unique conundrum?

Yeah, I understand the ambiguity in whether or not its a government building.

Give Jimmy Dimora a buzz; he'll tell you who really owns that building. (The answer pea will be under the walnut shell you might not have expected.)

Was anyone able to get a definitive answer on this?
