Ohio CCW laws.

[Casper413]

Can anyone clarify the laws in Ohio about carrying a pistol in a vehicle when you have a CCW permit. Can it be on the front seat in a holster? Or does it have to be on my person when driving through OHIO.

Same questions about Kentucky. What is correct??

Thanks!!

From the Ohio AG CCW handbook:

• The loaded handgun is in a holster secured on the person. Ohio law
previously required carrying firearms in a holster in plain sight. The
“plain sight” provision has been removed from the law.
• The loaded handgun is in a closed case, bag, box, or other
container that is in plain sight and that has a lid, a cover, or a closing
mechanism with a zipper, snap, or buckle, which lid, cover or
closing mechanism must be opened for a person to gain access to
the handgun, or
• The loaded handgun is securely encased by being stored in a closed,
glove compartment or console, or in a case that is locked.

So as I understand it on your person in a holster, loaded in a case.
The case needs to be locked if not in plain site.
