From what I understand, in Ohio you have to have a CHL to carry concealed even on your own property but not in your home.  

ORC Section 2923.12(C)(3)

(C)

(1) This section does not apply to any of the following:

(a) An officer, agent, or employee of this or any other state or the United States, or to a law enforcement officer, who is authorized to carry concealed weapons or dangerous ordnance or is authorized to carry handguns and is acting within the scope of the officer's, agent's, or employee's duties;

(b) Any person who is employed in this state, who is authorized to carry concealed weapons or dangerous ordnance or is authorized to carry handguns, and who is subject to and in compliance with the requirements of section 109.801 of the Revised Code, unless the appointing authority of the person has expressly specified that the exemption provided in division (C)(1)(b) of this section does not apply to the person;

(c) A person's transportation or storage of a firearm, other than a firearm described in divisions (G) to (M) of section 2923.11 of the Revised Code, in a motor vehicle for any lawful purpose if the firearm is not on the actor's person;

(d) A person's storage or possession of a firearm, other than a firearm described in divisions (G) to (M) of section 2923.11 of the Revised Code, in the actor's own home for any lawful purpose.

(2) Division (A)(2) of this section does not apply to any person who, at the time of the alleged carrying or possession of a handgun, is carrying a valid concealed handgun license, unless the person knowingly is in a place described in division (B) of section 2923.126 of the Revised Code.

(D) It is an affirmative defense to a charge under division (A)(1) of this section of carrying or having control of a weapon other than a handgun and other than a dangerous ordnance that the actor was not otherwise prohibited by law from having the weapon and that any of the following applies:

(1) The weapon was carried or kept ready at hand by the actor for defensive purposes while the actor was engaged in or was going to or from the actor's lawful business or occupation, which business or occupation was of a character or was necessarily carried on in a manner or at a time or place as to render the actor particularly susceptible to criminal attack, such as would justify a prudent person in going armed.

(2) The weapon was carried or kept ready at hand by the actor for defensive purposes while the actor was engaged in a lawful activity and had reasonable cause to fear a criminal attack upon the actor, a member of the actor's family, or the actor's home, such as would justify a prudent person in going armed.

(3) The weapon was carried or kept ready at hand by the actor for any lawful purpose and while in the actor's own home.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

Clerk was OC and suffered NON life threatening injuries.

An Ohio member (ThePontificator) posted a link in the Ohio forum of a previous robbery.

"ThePontificator" has a thread linking to one of the dead guys GoFundMe accounts.

ETA:  Looks like the gofundme account was pulled, I should have checked before posting.

I wonder what the clerk had and where he hit them, cause the guy in red was still shooting and they both would have been able to return fire in their condition as they ran away if they chose to.

ETA:  After watching that again, it wouldn't surprise me if the guy in red hit one of his partners in crime.  He hit the concrete and display barrels next to the entrance with his panicked fire.  

Just so everyone can understand the bigger picture, I GIMPed the Google Street Views of the Marathon station.  The perps came around the corner by the ice machine, so the clerk likely had a VERY short window of time to "see it coming."

There is a small pass-thru window in front of the store (see the shirtless guy standing there?)

The camera view they keep showing is the camera on the Top-Left of the roofline.  See it at the edge of the blue area, with the green tree in the background?





Here is the backside of that same view.  The red arrow denotes the corner the perps ran around in order to escape.  You can make out the back of the ice machine.  There's a big parking lot adjacent to the Marathon station, and a church behind it.

Thanks for posting those pic's TheGrayMan.

What's interesting to me is how far each of the deceased managed to run, with lethal wounds.   One was found in the 700 block of Dryden Avenue Southwest (top-right circle), while the second was found in the 800 block of Smith Ave SouthWest (left circle).  The shooting scene is the building circled in the lower right.

That's a respectable distance to cover when you're leakin'

I hope the white masked / black clothing guy is dead in a hole somewhere.
