Going to be in Cincinnati at the end of the month at the Duke Energy Center, anyone know if concealed carry is allowed in the convention center ? Thanks, Derrell

Pursuant with State of Ohio Revised Code 2923.126 (B), it is illegal to carry a firearm, deadly weapon, or dangerous substance inside the Duke Energy Convention Center. Unless otherwise authorized by law, no person shall knowingly posses, have under the person’s control, convey, or attempt to convey a deadly weapon or dangerous substance into the facility. A permit to carry a concealed weapon issued by this or any other state does not authorize the holder to carry or conceal weapons inside the DECC. Off-duty law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers who are qualified under federal Law H.R. 218., the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, and licensed protection professionals with prior approval, are permitted to have concealed weapons on premises. These authorized persons, who carry a concealed weapon to the DECC, are required to notify the DECC Security Manager and Event Manager prior to entering the DECC so their identification and facility location can be verified and accounted for.
