Going to Ohio :(

[68_F100]

I have to go for work. How can I take my handgun without getting e felony? I know they don't honor our permit.

Do a search for Ohio in the title and read any of the hundreds of threads on the topic.

But quickly, if you do not have a carry license/permit they recognize (Indiana LTCH is not), you can only carry openly (not concealed).

For transporting in a vehicle, you would need to unload and stow it out of reach separate from ammo until you reach your destination and exit the vehicle (they consider the vehicle itself to be concealment).

I believe their transport laws are similar to ours. So you should be able to unload your gun and put it in a case and keep your ammo separate. Beware of city ordinances though like Cincinnati where no handguns are allowed period.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me because I have been doing this quite a bit in the last year.

You're wrong on the city ordinances, Ohio has state preemption of local gun laws:

Also, remember to unload your mags. They consider a loaded mag a loaded gun, even if the gun & mags are in different parts of the car.

+1, revolvers are smoother in this regard.

I used to live in said city, and yes the above is true.

Looks like they changed the loaded mag rule:

From Handgunlaw (click on Ohio)

Sec. 2923.16. (K) (This law does not take effect until 3/27/13)
(5)(a) [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]"Unloaded" means with respect to a firearm other than a firearm described in division (K)(6) of this section, that no ammunition is in the firearm in question, no magazine or speed loader containing ammunition is inserted into the firearm in question and one of the following applies: [/FONT]
[/FONT](i) [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]There is no ammunition in a magazine or speed loader that is in the vehicle in question and that may be used with the firearm in question. [/FONT]
[/FONT](ii) [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Any magazine or speed loader that contains ammunition and that may be used with the firearm in question is stored in a compartment within the vehicle in question that cannot be accessed without leaving the vehicle or is stored in a container that provides complete and separate enclosure.

get a Florida non resident CC permit

unload lock it up and go on. Once you are settled into your hotel or whatnot. Reload and keep it inside your hotel room only. At least you will have some sort of defense.

Or keep it out of sight in your car and shut up about it.

Worked for me many times so far.

I'm sorry. Ohio sucks.

Knife and pepper spray.

I don't think you're sorry, and Ohio is a fantastic state. O-H-I-O

 

[scattergunner]

The Florida or Utah concealed carry permits both get you Ohio access. I am taking the Utha class in July at Gander Mountain, just for Ohio. There are a couple of great web sights out there that show what states take the Utah permit. I will take a look and post a link.

commen sense trumps stupid laws always.

 

[BFG]

When Mrs BFG gets her LTCH (its been three months now) we'll both take the class and get the Utah permit as well.

 

[scattergunner]

You have a year after the class to send in yyour application for the Utah Non-resident CC permit. You can take the class now and when your Indiana comes in, just send out the application. Just a suggestion, may speed up the process for you.
