One of my biggest issues is the change of this one. Yes, they removed the statutory prohibition, however, they made it if they post the parking lot it is now a felony. Prior to this, I could gladly go into any daycare parking lot and be safe as long as I didn't take the firearm in the building. Unfortunately it says "posted land or premise" which to me depending on the wording one places on their front door, could include the entire land, at which point it is now an F4 violation for the firearm being loaded in the vehicle. HUGE step backwards on that one.
I'm wondering how this is reconciled with parking lots only being a civil problem. Does one take precedent over the other?
I would say since this is AFTER the other section this one now takes precedence for at least daycare places.

I am not a lawyer. My answers are based on research, knowledge, and are generally backed up with facts, the Ohio Revised Code, or the United States Code.

That may not be completely true. The existing 2323.126 was repealed and replaced by the new one which incorporated the changes. So arguably both provisions were enacted at the same time. The ORC says that the conflicting provisions are supposed to be harmonized so that both have effect but we'll never have a definitive ruling on that until someone gets arrested and takes it to the supreme court.

The other wrinkle is that the ORC still requires day cares to post so I could see a creative prosecutor saying it's not a matter of a private employer establishing a rule, it's a matter of them following the law.

Yuck.

Is there a remedy available for employees whose employers continue to prohibit storage of firearms in the employee's locked motor vehicle in the company-owned parking lot ? Or is this just another toothless old warthog, all flash and no flavor ? :?:

No penalty or remedy that I can see.

IF it were possible for the employee to anonymously submit his/her concerns about this to the employer's legal department, letting them know a copy has also been sent along to the Ohio Attorney General's office..eh, chances aren't that good any success would be achieved. Akin to deep sea fishing for 500 lb. sailfish with 10 lb. test line because you didn't have anything else.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Earlier versions of the bill granted the ability to carry into libraries. Was that provision removed and would it now fall under this?
"The right to keep and bear arms is rooted in both self-defense and insurance against government’s propensity toward tyranny. The right pre-existed the Constitution. Thus, the Second Amendment is not its source. The right to keep and bear arms is natural and inalienable; the Second Amendment protects it, and Congress has no legitimate power to restrict it." - Senator John Cornyn (R., Tex.), as reported in the National Review on July 4, 2016

The earlier version that allowed concealed carry into any government facility that did not have security personnel and security measures at the entrance (which would have included libraries) was dropped, and the version that passed requires the city/township/whatever to actively allow it by passing a local ordnance, etc.

I'm sure they will be lining up to do just that... right behind all the colleges and universities that are going to now allow concealed carry.

Except that it would be two years before anything got done... nothing ever happens on CHL stuff until the end of the two year term. That's what is most frustrating to me...

But that means that there are two years that they have to use the new broken law to arrest and jail people.

I am not happy about things taking 2 years, either.

We'd probably be better off if laws were arranged in bullet point, and there were about 100 of them rather than this mess that we have now.

I'm looking at the bright side - the change to the school zone rules is YUGE for me. My daughter's school is in a rural area, with a long driveway - no possible way to park outside without getting the car towed and inviting questions from every single person who sees me. If I have to go there for an event after work, then I am disarmed all day. I'll take what I can get at this point.

This is the only shiny side of it all for me as well.

This would allow me to take my wife to work, as well as to participate in my son's school activities without being disarmed during the trip. (For instance, traveling to other schools in Ohio for his ROTC meets.)

About the school premises prohibition: Am I the only one who, while traveling around unfamiliar parts of Ohio, turned down a road to make a U-turn or stop to glance at my map/GPS, only to realize that it was the entrance to an elementary or high school property? Yeah no harm no foul but still, my brain said "Oops, instant felon, three hots and a cot for you the next couple years". That is completely ridiculous, there are circumstances where I could maim or kill someone with the same vehicle and not get that kind of punishment.

Maybe I should just get a few of the fence sitting Representatives and Senators to take a road trips with me across the state.
