These took effect on the 8th of this month. Just an update for those that want to know.

 

Changes to Ohio's concealed-weapons law taking effect today:

  • Permit holders may keep a gun hidden in a vehicle as long as it is in a secure holster. The law previously required the gun to be in plain sight.
  • Permit holders may bring a gun onto school grounds as long as they=are in a vehicle picking up or dropping off a child.
  • Landlords no longer may prohibit holders of concealed-weapons perm=ts from having their weapons in apartments.
  • People without a permit may have concealed weapons in their homes =f they aren't engaged in illegal activity.
  • The penalty for failure to notify a police officer of one's permit status when stopped is decreased if the officer already had received the information through a license-plate check.
  • Holders of valid liquor licenses who also have a concealed-weapons=permit may have a hidden gun on their premises.
  • A resident who hurts or kills an intruder is presumed to have acted in self-defense or in defense of another if the intruder entered unlawfully or without permission.

im so getting my CCW just for the last thing

 

If I read the list correctly, you don't need one. If they enter your home, uninvited, you can shoot em in self defense even without a CCW. I think before it was a grey area to the point you had to kill them or not shoot at all.

Not true, the plain sight wording was fixed April/May of 2007. The plain sight stipulation is for being in a container which doesn't have a lock.

 

If you have a concealed handgun license you have to carry it in a holster on your person or in a closed container that has a zipper/latch/etc.

 

The new law also provides for a legal way for non-CHL holders to transport a handgun in the car. Before this law technically there was no way to transport one legally.

 

(a) The loaded handgun is in a holster on the person’s person.

 

(b) 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.

 

© The loaded handgun is securely encased by being stored in a closed glove compartment or vehicle console or in a case that is locked.

Wrong we arent talking about changes from 07 we are talking about changes currently as of 2 weeks ago.

 

The law using the wording "secure holster" it leaves it vague to help protect law abiding citizens. Your pulling up old law.

+1.

 

Florida is a "stand your ground" state (use of deadly force is acceptable for pretty much any form of defense) and I hope the last law will make people stop and think before breaking into anyone's home...

 

I for one think this is an excellent thing for our community.
