"Buses" in general are not public property, publicly owned/operated buses are public property.

The reason that carry on a public bus is legal is because there is not a law against it, not because the bus is public property. Carry on a public bus in Ohio is subject to the same laws as carry in a private vehicle - a loaded handgun is only allowed if one possesses an Ohio CHL or its equivalent.

ok thanks..i believe ive got that cleared up.

i never said i was going to do that. i disarned when i went there. auglauze library however is not posted and one place id rather keep it concealed
Posted or not, CC in a public building is against the law.

"Off-limits" places are either statutory (like public buildings as well as some private property under many circumstances) or because of conspicuously posted signage (other private property).

Statutory off-limits places are supposed to have signage, but because they don't doesn't make them any less off-limits.

You need to read and understand (and should have already sought out) this publication from the Ohio Attorney General regarding Concealed Carry: http://tinyurl.com/ont3a26

I have emailed and talked to Mr. Napier, Mr. Owens, Mr. Eckler and now I have contact Mr. Whitmore. None of these people give a dam about the law until their jobs are threatened. They are sticking to their rule. I think a group of us should get together and board one of the buses and record the entire event. Strength in numbers.

(my bold)

With appropriate notice to the RTA, the authorities, and the media - sounds like a blast!

Please keep us posted.

I would be "on board" with the bus ride.
