Ok help me out. Ohio law does not explicitly mention private owners posting cpz signs as law. So does that mean that if someone were to conceal in Bestbuy they would not be breaking the law even if The sign was posted? I need clarity before i carry and i desire not to break any laws.
Note: ODOT is saying that Rest Areas that are Visitors Centers do not fall under the new law and that only regular Rest Areas do. If you see a sign that says “No Firearms Allowed” andgunlaw.us believes you should not carry there. We will keep you updated on any changes.

Licensed D-Liquor Permit premises in which any person is consuming liquor.
