Firearms Law CLE October 15th

On October 15, 2010, the Columbus Bar Association has invited my office to assist in hosting a firearms continuing legal education course worth 3 hours of CLE credit to local attorneys. Non attorneys are welcome to attend as well at a reduced rate. The CBA has been extremely helpful in educating the local bar in such a complex and nuanced area of the law. The speakers at this highly anticipated follow up to last year's CLE will be Assistant Attorney General Jon Fulkerson, Assistant Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney John Litle, local attorney Michael Moran, and Derek DeBrosse. Topics to be covered will be Federal Firearms Licensee representation, updates in legislation, and the Ohio Administrative Procedures act as applied to the concealed carry licensee.

Not sure if this applies directly to the meeting that was held, but this presentation by Jonathan Fulkerson, Chief, HHS, Ohio has a statement that confuses me. On page 18 of this document (see hyperlink) Mr. Fulkerson states, "No Ohio court has explicitly held that the right to bear arms under the Ohio Constitution or U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to open carry." Everything else I read (open carry advocate sites, etc.) states that the Ohio Constitution Art 4, Sect 1, expressly allows for open carry. Who is correct?

Thank you,
Kevin McCarthy
