Re: Vacation in Ohio
I am also a PA resident who goes to Ohio up along Lake Erie. As a practical matter, I found that Ohio seems to have a lot more places that prohibit firearms on the premises, both by statute and by choice of the owner/occupier of a premises. If you go to church in Ohio, you're a sitting duck unless you have permission from the minister to carry a firearm in the church. In Ohio, forget about having a beer in the American Legion or VFW if you are carrying a firearm. As far as owner/occupier policy, it seems like I run into a lot more private establishments in Ohio compared to PA that post against carrying a firearm on the premises. So unless you are very familiar with the business establishments where you are in Ohio, your chances of running into a establishment that bans firearms is rather high. Just last week my brother and I went to a junk yard in Ohio and there was a big sign that stated that firearms were prohibited, so I had to walk all the way back to the car on bad knees to put my carry vest in the trunk of the car so I wouldn't be violating the law. Good thing I did because there was a Cleveland cop in the building.

Re: Vacation in Ohio
I can tell you from carrying in OH for a while that it is NOT pro-carry.
There are so many places posted that you can't carry, you end up never being able to carry.
Car carry is a bunch of BS too; OH manages to include laws that make it a complicated legal trap also.
Make sure you telepathically tell the cop you are carrying as soon as you see the police car because if you use the word "gun" its a threat and if you don't then you are failing to inform.
There was some absurd case about notification a few years back. And under most circumstances I consider myself pro-LEO.

Re: Vacation in Ohio
You have exactly described my experience with carrying in Ohio. When I go to visit my brother in Ohio I have found I might as well forget about carrying while I am staying at his house.
The case I believe you are thinking about is not absurd, it is absolutely horrid. Go to Google and put in "Canton Ohio cop abuses concealed carry permit holder" and watch the video showing the cop verbally abusing and threatening the carry permit holder who is trying to present his carry permit to the cop in order to comply with the law. It will make you think about notifying anybody that you are carrying concealed when you are not legally required to.

Re: Vacation in Ohio
In what way is car carry "a bunch of BS"? When is the last time you reviewed Ohio law? According to the OHP, the law is so lax, if you have a valid credential, you can "drive down the highway twirling your pistol on your finger". Now admittedly they're anti-gun dicks, but apparently you haven't kept up with Ohio CCW law.
BTW: I see relatively few posted businesses in the western suburbs of Cleveland, and there are few statutory CPZs.Je suis Charles Martel.

Re: Vacation in Ohio
I carried (or more accurately - didn't carry) there a lot 2004-2006.
"Secured and in plain sight" as in "locked in a closed container and visible to the arresting <sarcasm> officer". Or you can carry it on your person but then you have to take it on and off every time you enter and exit your vehicle. I spent most of my time around Toledo and Cleveland. Almost every convenience store, chain store, grocery store mall and restaurant was posted. Where else do you go? Pretty much the only place I think I could carry was WalMart, but not Sam's because Sam's sold cases of beer. Oh, and Cleland's. I could carry there.

Re: Vacation in Ohio
It must be different in the eastern suburbs. When my dad was in his last year of life every medical facility he was in banned firearms. So many places are posted around where my brother lives in the eastern suburbs that I don't dare carry. And by statute, firearms are prohibited in every church, mosque and synagogue unless specifically permitted. And by statute, I can't go into the VFW or American Legion and have a beer while carrying.
