I live in Ohio, am over 21, and just purchased my first handgun. It will probably be a month or 2 before I go through the process to get my CCW, but in the meantime I was still excited that I could at least OC even if not while driving. Then I discovered the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act. While my neighborhood is far enough away from any schools, there are very few businesses I go to that aren't within 1000 ft. of one. I obviously don't want to be convicted of a felony, but because of the density of schools in urban and suburban areas, is there any point to open carry before I get my CCW?
