I'm from Missouri and have an odd question.

Since when does the State own liquor stores? Conversation states that the LEO indicated he was in "a State liquor store".
I'm assuming it was meant to indicate a State licensed liquor store rather than how it read.

There are 18 states in the U.S. that have state monopoly over the wholesaling and/or retailing of some or all categories of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits. Ohio is one of them.

From Canton

This particular thread is how I stumbled upon this website. I was specifically searching for info regarding LEO attitude towards OC in Canton. I have been considering OC as opposed to CCW for preventative reasons. To the OP and anybody else familiar with Canton I live in Ridgewood Castle on 17th st NW. A neighborhood that has been called Lawless by city council members who have as of yet been ignored in their attempts to arrange a meeting with the management of this 100+ unit complex. My thoughts are that openly carrying in a non hostile manner will make the many many unsavory types that live and/or hang around this neighborhood think twice before either breaking in my apartment or harassing my wife and kids. So through the combination of that line of thinking and the wonderful power of Google I found this thread on this great site. Thanks to the OP and his unpleasant encounter I may just start shopping at the Raff Rd Giant Eagle since thanks to him they have been made aware the legality of OC. Anyway forgive me for basically interrupting and contributing nothing to the conversation just figured this Canton thread was as good a place as any to introduce myself.

Ohio has it's very own site you can also look at.

I'm in Canton also,...and welcome!

Ohio owning the liquor stores

I think it said somewhere earlier in this thread that Ohio no longer owns the liquor stores, but some signs still say "State Liquor Store".
