Reply #46: Gun ban in fairgrounds buildings irks some (OH) [View All]

[MrBenchley]

"MANSFIELD -- Some gun owners and others are upset with plans to post 230 signs at the Richland County Fairgrounds telling visitors that concealed weapons are prohibited.
Richard A. Stark of Lucas believes the legal restriction will land county officials in court. He contends the state's new concealed-carry law, which goes into effect Thursday, spells out where licensed gun owners may take their weapons.
But Beth Miller, director of risk control services for the County Commissioners' Association of Ohio, said Stark's contentions aren't true. The state and its government subdivisions -- counties, cities, villages and townships -- are required to post warning signs, she said.
"Counties are not violating any law. In fact, the law says they have to post it," she said.
Adamant gun advocates in organized groups "don't know what's in their own law," Miller said. "They share a lot of grass-roots knowledge, and as it gets passed along, it gets distorted." "
