Ogletree Deakins: Ohio Governor Signs Guns in Trunks Law | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses Ohio Governor John Kasich's signing of Senate Bill 199 which prevents employers from prohibiting holders of concealed handgun licenses from storing firearms in their locked vehicles when parked on company property. This departs from the current law which allows private employers to prohibit weapons from all company property. The new law, which also provides certain circumstances in which permit holders may carry concealed weapons in childcare centers and on college campuses, becomes effective in March 2017.
