This is straight from my Ohio CCW Law book.

Forbidden Carry Zones:
-Licensed D-Liquor Permit premises in which any person is consuming liquor.

"Concealed firearms are banned in premises for which a D permit has been issued or in an open air arena for which a permit of that nature has been issued. There are some exceptions to this prohibition. The prohibition does not apply to principal holder of a D permit as long as principal holder is not consuming liquor. The prohibition does not apply to an agent or employee of the principal holder who is also a peace officer who is also off duty. Possession of a concealed firearm is allowed in a retail store with a D-6 or D-8 permit as long as the concealed carry license holder is not consuming liquor. Class D permits are generally issued to an Establishment that sells alcohol for consumption on the premises. In any event, be certain of the type of permit and whether liquor is being consumed before you enter with a concealed handgun."

So, its illegal to carry a gun into some place that is serving open alcohol. I can carry into Giant Eagle and get groceries, even buy beer. But if they are serving samples of wine (and they do rarely), I'm then illegally carrying my gun.

I cant legally carry in the Pizza Hut or Chipotle by me because they serve beer to consume. I'm not drinking, why shouldn't I be able to carry?
