Local BMV office
Are all BMV offices CPZs? I noticed a medium size GB sign on both doors when I went to renew my driver's license today. This was at the Gahanna License Agency at 415 Agler Road In Gahanna.

Re: Local BMV office
It's only since March of this year that Deputy Registrars were permitted by law to allow patrons to carry guns.
Believe it or not, even if they allow guns, they still must post the sign,
Such is the wisdom of our elected officials
See ORC 2923.1212(A)(9)

Re: Local BMV office
Someone in the BMV had that stipulation about posting no guns signs in the contract that deputy registrars sign back in about 2005 even though they aren't actually government offices.

Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo - use in that order.
If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Local BMV office
I understand the Alum Creek Drive & Hiltop complexes being posted, because OSHP has a presence in both buildings. Maybe BMV needs to improve their customer service, then they wouldn't need to worry about armed persons....

Re: Local BMV office
What frosts me is that the original CPZ signage was a demand by the central authority that the franchises MUST post, or else, but it was at the "misdemeanor" level. A bit down the road, it became a FELONY CPZ, probably due to the "State Offices" influence, but codified in the ORC.
Since I'm only in there once or twice a year, if not less often, I more or less ignored it. (Leave the gun in the car.)
Of late, though, there's been more "action" out there. Wouldn't care, except that the folks hanging about the curb have gotten a little more intimidating. I stay away even more .... A little while back, the panhandler who needed $2.35 to get his wife and kids off the turnpike was there. Found another registrar....
In other news ( ), one of the local hospital systems got bought out again. This time the very expensive CPZ signs are gone. They always complained of a lack of funds, but blew a pile on the old signs. Film at 11....
Regards,

Re: Local BMV office
...but the presence of the sign still overrules the intent of the owner of the facility, right? Not that it makes a big difference in my life since I'm only in there every year or two.Chuck wrote:It's only since March of this year that Deputy Registrars were permitted by law to allow patrons to carry guns.

Re: Local BMV office
They were required to post . I believe the language was in their contract with the state, since they were in essence, acting on behalf of the state.
Problem is now, many are owned by out-of-state corporations, most who are anti's.
Very few local owned independent license agencies left.

Re: Local BMV office
No matter how bad customer service is, they still have no need to be concerned about legally armed persons. For all the others the signs wont mean anything anyhow!dustymedic wrote:I understand the Alum Creek Drive & Hiltop complexes being posted, because OSHP has a presence in both buildings.

Re: Local BMV office
Note, however, that there is no statutory penalty for not posting, nor can any civil liability be premised upon a failure to post.Chuck wrote:It's only since March of this year that Deputy Registrars were permitted by law to allow patrons to carry guns.

Partly because Ohio doesn't categorize restaurants as making 51% of income from food like Kentucky and some other states do.RichN wrote:Other than that whole bar versus restaurant thing.

Re: Local BMV office
At times, I wonder if that wasn't actually a semi-clever move from the Kentucky legislature. How could a casual patron be expected to know those financial particulars? If a non-imbibing customer has to defend himself, and the place in question has a food menu of any kind, it's going to be tough to prosecute, assuming a "clean shoot".schmieg wrote:Partly because Ohio doesn't categorize restaurants as making 51% of income from food like Kentucky and some other states do.RichN wrote:Other than that whole bar versus restaurant thing.

Also, only carry of a "loaded" firearm is completely forbidden in a Kentucky "bar". Per definition of "loaded" elsewhere in the Kentucky Revised Statutes, someone could have an empty handgun on one side of their person, and charged magazines/speedloaders/moon clips on the other.
In any event, stand alone charges of CCW don't get levied against otherwise law abiding carriers much in Kentucky.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
