I am not the smartest fellow around, but I am pretty sure, no I am positive, that WEBN can not make law in Cincinnati and can not make law in Northern Kentucky. Kentucky and Ohio both are preemptive states. State law exist that says no one, other than the state, can make laws concerning guns. So if the property is for public use and not privately owned, carry on.
Except Ohio's preemption is pretty lame compared to Kentucky's. In Ohio localities can ban weapons in many places that they can't here in the Bluegrass State.
Hey Glockster, can you provide a cite for that. Under Ohio Revised Code 9.68, my understanding is no locality can make any laws that would interfere with the buying, selling, manufacturing,and ownership. If I am wrong, please show me. Thanks
Beyond the rights granted by the Ohio Constitution, Revised Code § 9.68 provides that, unless otherwise prohibited by State or Federal law, any person “may own, possess, purchase, sell, transfer, transport, store, or keep any firearm, part of a firearm, its components, and its ammunition.” Specifically included in this statute is the right to openly carry a firearm. See Revised Code § 9.68(C)(1). There is no requirement that the person first get a license, get permission or show any need prior to openly carrying a firearm.
The "unless prohibited by state or federal law" is where the restrictions come from. State law prohibits firearms in a great deal of places. "No firearm" signs have the force of law in Ohio. The carrying of firearms can be banned in government buildings. You can't carry without a license in your own vehicle or any other vehicle. Carry is banned in the state capitol and the state capitol grounds. Ohio considers an AR-15 and similiar weapons that are designed to accept a magazine of 30 rounds or more an "automatic weapon." In Ohio you must surrender your firearm (that you can't carry without a license) to any leo who asks you to do so, and so on.
This is from the same statute you cited, and I believe it just adds to the restrictiveness of the laws of Ohio:
(D) This section does not apply to either of the following:
(1) A zoning ordinance that regulates or prohibits the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms in areas zoned for residential or agricultural uses;
(2) A zoning ordinance that specifies the hours of operation or the geographic areas where the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms may occur, provided that the zoning ordinance is consistent with zoning ordinances for other retail establishments in the same geographic area and does not result in a de facto prohibition of the commercial sale of firearms, firearm components, or ammunition for firearms in areas zoned for commercial, retail, or industrial uses.
With laws that are this restrictive, the preemption really isn't helping much. It keeps a local government from prohibiting your ability to carry in your vehicle (with a license of course), and on your own property, but not much else. State law already places a large amount of restrictions on carry and other aspects concerning firearms, and that is what I was implying.
