Hocking Hills

[Derek Jones]

I've rented a cabin for my family in Hocking Hills and I want to know if the property owner can 'legally' restrict open or conceal carry, or even 'ban' guns from the property. I thought hotels and lodging and rentals etc couldn't do this anymore in Ohio since like 08-09 law changes, or am I wrong? Please correct me if I am wrong. I ask because I thought all the cabins were in Wayne State Park and the laws in national parks have changed in regards to guns. Also, doesn't Ohio law preempt all local laws?

Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

You asked a question without supplying information that would help.

Do they have some policy or notice posted????

I'm guessing Derek meant the cabins are privately owned and within the boundaries of Wayne National Forest. Totally different entity, many people own property in National Forests and could post as they please. No change in Ohio law would have affected that.

There is a lot of property still owned under a land patent. The government can't touch it.

ORC 2923.126 (C) (3) (B) doesn't apply because the cabin is not a "residential premise" per the law I quoted.
