And yet, I've seen four times that police directed overflow parking for gun shows into nearby...school parking lots. In all instances but one I followed up with the local law directors. Radio silence.
That's why there are some windmills I no longer tilt at.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

No. The Ohio "School Safety Zone" ends at the school's property line so you are not violating state law by driving past the school with an unloaded, cased long gun in your locked trunk on the way to the range.

The federal definition is different, it dictates 1000' from school property.
Definitions
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(25):
The term "school zone" means—
(A) in, or on the grounds of, a public, parochial or private school; or
(B) within a distance of 1,000 feet from the grounds of a public, parochial or private school.

Understood - but the question I responded to was about Ohio law. And, if you have a CHL from Ohio, the Federal prohibition goes away anyway.

Agreed no violation of ORC....but the federal prohibition regarding long guns does not go away if you have an Ohio CHL.
I'm not so sure, and in fact lean the other way. The Federal law does not distinguish between types of firearms, either in the general prohibition or exceptions.

Well that is interesting for sure. IMHO they should change ORC to allow loaded (at least loaded magazines inserted) long guns in vehicles to CHL holders anyway.
