In Ohio, can a private business owner prohibit concealed carry on their property?

  1. Yes, by posting a sign

  2. No, CHL holders can carry everywhere

  3. Yes, but only if alcohol is served on the premises

  4. No, unless it's a government building

The correct answer is: Yes, by posting a sign

In Ohio, private business owners have the right to prohibit concealed carry on their property, if they choose to do so, by posting a sign. This means that they can legally restrict individuals with concealed carry permits from entering their property while carrying a concealed weapon. Option B is incorrect because while concealed carry may be allowed in most places, private property owners still have the right to restrict it on their own premises. Option C is incorrect because even if alcohol is served on the premises, a private business owner can still prohibit concealed carry, as long as they have properly posted a sign. Option D is incorrect because it only applies to government buildings and not private property. Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
