The first 3 years of this law in Ohio were confusing. When I took my class the first year it was available the law said that if stopped while driving you had to have your gun on the seat or visible somewhere even if it's on your person. This meant that you could have it concelaled, but if you were stopped it had to be visible. God help you if you get pulled over and go to put it on the seat, or even move your shirt to make it visible, if you don't get shot it's a 4th degree felony, and they know you have a CCL before they get out of the sqad car anyway. The law was stupid. The laws for riding a MC and carrying were very unclear too we were told the only way you can carry on a MC without clearly breaking a law was to keep the gun visible, but in that case it was on your person AND you were drawing attention to it, thus you could freak somebody out and "cause panic" and that is against the law too, so I did not carry a-lot. If I knew I was going somewhere and felt I needed to carry I just hoped for the best. The recent change in the law say's to keep your gun on your person and you can keep it concealed. Keep your hands on the wheel and tell the cop you have a CCL and tell him you are carrying. He already assumes you are. Yes, that's I have a CCL officer, not to be confused with I have a gun officer!
