Carry Reciprocity Progress--Ohio

[IndyGunner]

Maybe it's time to revisit our reciprocity with Ohio then.

That would be a kick in the dick at best. And not only would it not work, since laws don't stop criminals, but you would be forcing people who probably dont agree with the law (and are misrepresented by their government) to be unable to protect themselves. I'm not a bleeding heart but that isn't right IMHO. I sure as hell don't agree with a lot of things that are going on in Indy and wouldn't want someone in ohio consider me to be an a**hat just because of laws/policies here.

Just found that this went to the Gov on the 19th and he has till the 31st to sign it. Does anybody know where to find out what was kept in the bill and what was removed?

Bill signed, here's a report:

NRA-ILA | Ohio: Governor Kasich Signs into Law Important Pro-Gun Reform Bill Today

 

[GNRPowdeR]

Doesn't include the reciprocity with other states, but the issue "is promised to be addressed early in the next session..." just so this part can get passed for the state residents during this session of legislature.

We're getting closer & closer...

Also heard something about IL having their firearms law struck down as unconstitutional by the state courts.

the NRA is killing our kids? What if our kids are already members of the NRA?

Modifies the definition of a loaded firearm in a vehicle. Currently, a firearm is considered loaded if a loaded magazine is present in the vehicle, even if the magazine is not inserted into the firearm. HB 495 further clarifies the definition in current law to give gun owners various options for storing loaded magazines during transport.


Am I not understanding this? Are people with CC permits not permitted to carry loaded guns in their cars?

I've not read the new law yet, but under the law as it stood prior to that, those without a recognized state permission slip of some kind could transport a firearm in their vehicle, but no rounds could be in a mag that would fit the firearm. This would apply to those who OC without a license/permit, which is legal there, or to those without a license/permit transporting through the state. A holder of an IN LTCH would have to transport in this manner, barring some other permission slip.

A holder of a license or permit they recognize would be able to carry, concealed or openly, without worrying about that restriction.

Hope that helps!

Blessings,
Bill

Oh well I guess I can stop putting of that FL license now. Be nice to have it anyway for some other states.

Thank you. So as a Resident of PA with a CC permit....I can OC in Ohio?

Utah license will get you Ohio, too.

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

Utah license will get you Ohio, too.

Yes I know, but thank you.

Not on your PA permit, no.

According to USACarry.com:
Ohio Honors Permits from these States:
Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming


There is some question whether an AZ permit would suffice. By the letter of OH's law, no, it would not, however, the attorney general of the state said it would be accepted. Until it's in writing, if I go to OH, I'll carry on my Utah permit.

Blessings,
Bill

Hope this goes through before my Utah Non-Res comes up for renewal.

$10........really

To start IANAL but, OH is an Open carry state no permit/license needed even for non residents. However in a vehicle even in plain sight it is considered concealed so know the laws.

Question about this, my dad works in Ohio right now, and swears up and down Ohio recognizes the Indiana ltch. He says Ohio state police told him. Any truth to this? References please.

Sorry, bud. Just ain't true.

http://handgunlaw.us/states/indiana.pdf

All the states in red on that map don't honor Indiana's LTCH. That's what this whole thread is about.

I knew it just wanted some proof

Handgunlaw is one reference. You can also look at USACarry.com.

However, if you want it directly from the horse's backside:

http://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/...-Carry/Concealed-Carry-Reciprocity-Agreements

Concealed Carry Reciprocity Agreements


Ohio law gives the Attorney General the right to negotiate concealed carry handgun reciprocity agreements with other states.
Under such agreements, Ohio and other states agree to respect each other's concealed carry laws and recognize each other's permit holders.
In assessing whether to enter a reciprocity agreement, the Attorney General must determine if another state's concealed carry law and requirements are "substantially comparable" to Ohio's.
Ohio has reciprocity agreements with the following states. Click on the state name for more details about the agreement.

Alaska Arizona Arkansas Delaware
Florida Idaho Kansas Kentucky
Louisiana Michigan Missouri New Mexico
North Carolina North Dakota Nebraska Oklahoma
South Carolina Tennessee Utah Virginia
Washington West Virginia Wyoming

I really hope this goes through and the sooner the better. I visit a cousin in Ohio fairly often and it just doesn't feel right not being able to carry on my person.
