We will be doing an open carry educational meet and greet at Boardman Park in Boardman Ohio, Sunday November 3rd at 1:00p.m. The address for our starting point is 377 Boardman Poland Road, Boardman, OH 44512. We will actually be meeting in the park next to the shopping plaza, but this address is a good GPS reference point.
This is in response to an unenforceable and illegal rule in the city's parks that should not be there and should be removed. (http://www.boardmanpark.com/Data/Sites/1/Assets/pdf/boardman-park-rules-regs.pdf look at rule #14).
Since 2006,ORC 9.68 has permitted people to carry guns in most public places, including public parks.
Boardman Metro Parks is prohibiting the carrying of guns in their parks. They were also pretty rude and uncooperative when we informed them of this. This walk is meant to spread education to the people of boardman that this rule is illegal and unenforceable and that they are most certainly allowed to carry into the parks as long as they follow all other state and federal laws.
We will allow any firearms at this event, handguns or long guns. Open carry is welcome and encouraged.
Here is the facebook event if you would like to RSVP and stay up to date with any news.
