I tried to do a search on this but didn't have any luck narrowing things down. I have read the ohio laws and understand the listing of prohibited areas. Some make mention of vehicles and others don't. Most seem to pertain only to a building, or in the case of schools the entire grounds/safety zone. Some say premises, which seems to have vague boundaries.
How far does premises go? Say a business with a class D liquor permit? That is listed as a premises. Would the parking lot be considered on the premises?
What about areas that are posted? The signs say premises, how does that apply?
As an example, construction sites are generally posted. I'm not sure if this is a state requirement or not. Say the office trailer has a poster and the building itself has a poster. Obviously, no carrying in the building or the trailer, so basically no carrying at work. Would this also prohibit keeping a gun in your vehicle, for carry before/after work if the vehicle is parked in the construction area?
