Question Presented (from Petition)

Question I – Is an individual's Second Amendment
right to bear arms violated when he is told by a
security guard he cannot open carry in a store and is
arrested by police officers, when the State of Ohio has
passed a law (O.R.C. §9.68) that declares the individual
right to keep and bear arms is a constitutionally
protected right in every part of Ohio and permits a
person to open carry a firearm in any part of the state,
except as specifically provided by law?

Question II – Does probable cause exist to arrest an
individual so as to entitle police officers qualified
immunity, when the individual is a business invitee
and legally open carrying a firearm, and when the
police are shown that there is no sign prohibiting the
individual from open carrying in the business?

Question III – Can summary judgment be granted,
when the facts show a conspiracy exists, when a
private party gives false information to the police about
a sign prohibiting firearms in a store, when that
information is shown by a customer to the police to be
false, and the security guard demands the police to
arrest the customer, who is legally open carrying a
firearm?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is an individual's Second Amendment right to bear arms violated?
