Ohio State Fair Building Gun Ban Fails All Tests for Constitutionality

Summary

The Ohio State Fair permits lawful firearms carry in outdoor areas but bans them inside buildings, citing Ohio Revised Code 2923.126 and 2923.1212. Dean Rieck, Executive Director of Buckeye Firearms Association, states they are working to modify R.C. 2923.126(B)(7) to prevent such prohibitions at public events, arguing the current ban is unconstitutional under the Bruen decision.
