County Library

Post by AFVet »

Have a question, I was walking by my local branch of the county library and I noticed that there was a gun buster sign in the window. I was wondering if this was a possible violation of 9.68. If so I will gladly contact whomever need be and try to get it resolved.

County library: Government building and government employees? If so, it is correctly posted.

Why would it be a violation of 9.68? If it's run by the county, it's a government building. No carry allowed.

The signage on the buildings of a government building are put there by law and are not a violation of R.C. 9.68.

There HAS been discussion about whether those signs are applicable to open carry, but the consensus is that they are.

I personally don't think so, but that's what everyone else thinks.

I also do not believe those signs apply to open carry. I also believe that there is a high probability that if this is tested in court it would result in case law that it does apply to OC. This is a situation that is better addressed through the legislature than thru the courts. IMHO. IANL.

When it comes to your opinion versus the opinion of a Court of Appeals judge, we all know who wins.

This is also the reason that some of us have deemed it unwise to ask the Attorney General for an opinion.
