I work in Canton OH and usually stay at the Hilton Garden Inn right by the airport. When I came back to my room tonight, I had a message. The message said that apparently I had a firearm in my room and that since this was against Ohio Law, I needed to put it in my car.
WIth the weather this cold, I was not OC'ing - although I have OC'd frequently here in the past. No one could have seen a firearm in my room as it was either on my person or in a locked case in a locked bag - so I'm not sure where they got the idea I had a firearm.....unless the maid didn't like the 3 boxes of ammo and holster I left on the desk.
www.Handgunlaw.us has a nice index to the laws and a quick search brought me to http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923 which says:
2923.121 Possession of firearm in liquor permit premises - prohibition, exceptions....(2) This section does not apply to any room used for the accommodation of guests of a hotel, as defined in section 4301.01 of the Revised Code.
This really PO'd me as I've been staying here since the hotel opened and we've spent at least $100K with this hotel in the past year or so.....I prinited off the page and attached one of the Ohio No Guns No Cash cards to the page and informed the front desk that it is legal to have a firearm in my room in OH and that the general manager needs to call me tomorrow and let me know if she was misinformed, or if she no longer wants my or my companies business. I'll let you know how this works out.....
