carrying in OH

[mms]

So I plan on traveling to Ohio for thanksgiving. my aunt lives an hour past the Indiana boarder. I looked it up and Ohio doesn't accept Indiana ltch. what are your suggestions I don't want to not carry a gun just because of the last hour of my drive?? Do I have to do like in Illinois where I unload it and put the clip some were else?? and obviously I cant carry any where else once I get there correct.

 

[purple72]

Correct.

Just wanted to make sure I was just really surprised that Ohio was as draconian as Illinois.

If you get your Utah permit, you can carry in Ohio. Ohio mandates that you take a class in order to get your CCW. So it is only reciptory with states that do the same.

Also In Ohio a loaded Magazine ( and if they want to push a Speed loader) constitutes a loaded firearm,

Carry a Shotgun. Its legal.

The same applies with Florida permits.

A Florida or Utah license is a worthy investment:

Form/Publication Request 790 - Division of Licensing, FDACS

Are you sure about that???
If you can, do a search. The Ohio carry subject has been covered in depth here a couple times. What ever you do, don't just take the loaded mag out and store it someplace else. In Ohio that a loaded mag seperate from a gun is the same as a loaded gun. Make sure you unload the mag and gun completely before storing.

...is it possible to get a permit in a state if you don't live in that state?

Yes, if they offer a non-resident permit, which Utah does...

Ok thanks guys I was not aware of the unloading the magazine part... ill probably just take a revolver and dump the bullets out if i have to.

I am taking a class tomorrow afternoon to meet the requirements for the Florida non-resident permit. I travel to OH and NE a couple of times per year. This will allow me to be legal in both states.

The Florida license is ridiculously easy to meet the "training requirement". I used the $18 online test and certification I had to get for the IN Hunting License because I was born after whatever date. The test was a joke, and it is soooo easy to get a hunter's education card.

Don't just guess, guys. Cite the law or case law that you get this from.

Ohio law does not require a license for open carry. be careful, though, because even slightly concealed (OWB holster with a t-shirt covering part of it) can be charged with CCW.

Just open carry. Be sure to look up where you are and are not allowed to carry, Ohio is a lot more restrictive than Indiana as to where you can carry.

too late for ths year, but get a Florida permit, its easy and cheap, and with your Indiana permit gives you over 30 states

What course/where?

 

[The_Possumn]

As a former OH resident, I can tell you that, atleast a while ago, firearm laws were not uniform across the state, so be carefull!

It was this one

my.Hunter-Ed.com: Get Your Hunting Certification with the Indiana Course

I got a card in the mail, and a copy of such card was accepted as proof of training for my FL CCL. I must say, the PVC license FL gives out is MUCH nicer than the pink piece of paper we get from IN. It's more like our driver's license than out LTCH.
