So you're saying I can OC at my church even though I'm recently informed it's
a federal offense to CC there?
Whoever told you it is a Federal offense to conceal carry at your church is mistaken. It is, however, illegal by Ohio law to carry concealed in a church in Ohio without permission from someone in the church authorized to give that permission. But as there is no law against open carry in a church in Ohio that I can find, it would be legal to do so unless there is appropriate signage. Regardless of legality or signage I suspect you would be asked to leave, however - and they do have the right under Ohio trespass law to do exactly that and failure to comply is Criminal Trespass.
