Speedo66:
Under LEOSA, you really don't need to get an OH license, but it would be a good idea to do so anyway. There's a zinger in the Federal law about school zones that seems to NOT exempt licensees unless they're residents of the state they're licensed in.
(I'm not sure if LEOSA covers this one.)
That 31 round thing is real....
I don't believe that you need to empty magazines now when transporting a gun. The law changed a while back. You DO need an empty chamber (or cylinder).
You might want to think about KY
, but OH's coming along....
One more thing you might run into. We
had a restriction against carrying in a restaurant that served alcohol. That went away about the first of October 2011. You still can't drink, but you can carry if the place isn't otherwise posted.
The Ohio Liquor Control sign ("You May Be Committing A Felony....") does NOT apply to licensees. The "no concealed weapons" signs DO.
A whole lot of buildings that we paid for are statutory CPZ's, but the AG's sign says something to the effect of "unless authorized", and the
actual law says "but not licensees". Nobody agrees with how to treat that if you find that wording at Sears, but you do want to stay out of the BMV Deputy Registrars.
Schools are off-limits, as is generally the case. Houses of Worship are also statutory unless you get permission (it really should be in writing) from whoever's authorized to say so, and finding him/her can be interesting.
