No, no, no - concealed carry is now legal, open cary is not. Go read the decision.

And I do not know Ohio law well enough to be certain, but most appelate court decisions are binding only in the court's district.

That would mean that concealed carry is only legal in hamilton county.

Yes, it's only legal in hamilton county. What remains to be seen is whether the county will appeal this to the state supreme court, risking state wide non-permit concealed carry, or leave hamilton as an isolated island where cc is legal.

How can a state appeals court ruling concerning a state law be binding in only one county? What you say doesn't make sense. Doesn't an appeals court speak for the status of law in the ENTIRE state?

I think you are confusing Federal court districts vs a state appeals court. I assume this means that concealed carry cannot be prosecuted under the discarded law while open carry is still prohibited under a previous law they seemed to refer to in their decision. And it is state wide.

I imagine the outcome will be a shall issue law assuming the Supreme Court hears it and goes along. Seeing as how the appeals court effectively *itch slapped the city of Cincinnati, I would be surprised if the Supreme court reversed it.
