So, open carry and they ( ) point a rifle at you and order you to climb out the window of your car????? Link: http://ohioccwforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=4049
Holy F&@^ing Crap! I really feel for that guy. I bet he would love to spend an hour alone with the prick who called him in. Edit Gunstar1: Foul Language
One thing to remember with reference to the above link is that his "choice" to open carry did not cause the encounter with police. "What? MP, How can you say such a thing!?!" Well, in Ohio, no concealed carry is allowed within your vehicle. That is, you must "unconceal" your piece before stepping into the car, and carry openly while driving. There simply is no choice in the matter under Ohio law. Also, Ohio is one of those states where it is legal to open carry without any firearms license at all! With that having been said, this occurred while he was leaving a gas station, where he did not go inside the store. He simply used his credit card to pay at the pump. Now what do you think of the story in the link?
the people at"ohioans for concealed carry" have a very strong following,they were instramental in getting ccw passed in ohio and are working to get that insane car carry and the public records provisions removed,they had the votes in the legislature,but the RINO governor taft refused to sign it.
UPDATE He has now been charged with failing to tell the officers he was carrying (even though they admit they could not hear what he was saying) and carrying in public (even though he has a license). Link: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=204563
Another arrest. I guess it is no better if you are concealed carrying. http://www.sanduskyregister.com/article ... 072059.txt The comments at the link are interesting.
MP have you seen any of the discussion on ohioccw.com. they seem to think he was charged because of how the weapon was carried while driving
Malum may have a twin in Ohio. Those silly laws. Always getting in the way of those who are supposed to enforce them.
