Just irritated this morning, because of OH

[katfishinking]

I say don't go to ohio in the first place. or go, and hope you don't need any protection. either way, don't advertise on a public forum that you might take it and break the law, duh!

 

[bhowell34]

Let's look at probabilities. How many times in your lifetime have you used a gun for personal protection - actually drawn and fired? Now how many times have you been in a routine traffic stop?

So yeah, go ahead and risk your right to continue to carry a firearm for the rest of your life on the miniscule chance that you might need it on that ride. OR - you could just choose to not ride in Ohio.

Only been pulled over once in my life for speeding. So don't speed if you're worried. Obviously the easy answer is just to get a UT or FL license or just avoid Ohio like you said. If you CC most people won't ever know you are carrying so as long as you don't say anything it's not a big deal. I'm just saying worse case scenario I'd rather be armed

Yeah, I think we'd all RATHER be armed. We're members of this forum, right? But to suggest risking a felony to do it seems a bit reckless to me. If that's how you roll, knock yourself out.

 

[bhowell34]

Yeah it's something everyone has to weigh. Breaking an unjust law or seeing your family killed in front of you. Both unlikely events to happen just depends on how much risk you are willing to accept

 

[LANShark42]

Again, if OP has reasonable cause to believe his family will be killed in front of him on this bike ride, maybe he just shouldn't attend.

 

[bhowell34]

I'm not trying to argue with you I'm just saying you never know whats going to happen now a days. Did people think they were going to get blown up while running a marathon? Probably not. You're never certain you won't need protection

 

[Bigtanker]

be judged by 12 or carried by 6

I seen that somewhere else!

 

[LANShark42]

How would being armed have helped any of the Boston victims? How would it have offered them any extra protection from those bombs?

 

[mbills2223]

OR, and this is just me being all whacky and crazy, but he could just comply with the law and get a Florida license.

It's a lot cheaper than a lawyer . . . and far more portable too.

Go home Kirk, you're drunk.

Just an example of uncertainty chill out

 

[LANShark42]

If I HAD to take my family into a known dangerous area, I would do whatever I could to keep them safe. My first choice would be to not take them into that situation. IMO, there is a HUGE difference between that scenario and taking a recreational motorcycle ride (ostensibly alone, as he did NOT mention taking family). It really boils down to a matter of common sense.

ROFL, so I need to chill out when I refute your arguement? Go home, pup.

 

[bhowell34]

The problem is you don't know what a known dangerous area is. That's what I'm trying to say. Who thought taking your kid to elementary school would be dangerous or going to a movie. You can't predict the future.

No you need to bc you're getting your panties in a bunch because someone has a different opinion than you.

Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Stay safe my friend

 

[Mr. Habib]

IIRC, open carry is legal in Ohio w/o a license.

Panties in a bunch? Over this?!? Nah, not even a little. But I will almost ALWAYS take exception to advice suggesting someone risk a felony charge to participate in a recreational activity.

Good luck to you.

It is legal, but the problem is that OH LEOs will hassle you if someone calls and complains. Not the LEOs fault, but the fault of their bosses for allowing it. The officers just follow orders like any of us at our jobs.

Basically it's legal, but you're not allowed to do it because of hoplophobia.

 

[MikeDVB]

I need to apply for my Florida carry...............

 

[Caleb]

open carry it in ohio....technically I think you can with IN LTCH, and only in a car will that require a CCW
