Would You, Could you...Should you?

In Ohio you do not need A CCW for any weapon in your home. In Ohio you can also open carry, which means you can carry the weapon in a holster outside your clothes and exposed to the public. You can not carry it inside a jacket or shirt it has to be exposed. If you want to carry inside the jacket or in not easily visible seen or not visible at all area of your body and clothing it takes a CCW. Transportation without a CCW require the hand gun be inside a locked compartment and the ammo in a glove box or vice versa. Separated, requiring time to assemble. Thats the real issue, getting out of the truck and loading the weapon before you enter a site or hike or whatever. Additionally the sheriff is always getting calls if someone is walking around with a hand gun in a holster, which is very understandable. I understand that you can transport a weapon in your vehicle that is fully exposed, but I think that is a bit to risky for and subject to be misunderstood and interpreted. At least that is the law, as I understand it in Ohio.

Many years ago I was checking out some case law Annotations on CCW. Could not remember the case name, but some possible search terms paid off for me.

In a peanut, the 6th circuit ruled if an officer has prior knowledge that the arrested person had a valid "Affirmative defense" under the statute to carrying a CCW, that negated PC to arrest, and if arrested, it constituted a false arrest.

Ohio,

Thanks for your response as well as the copy of the legal response/decision.

I work out with many local police officers, city police officers, county sheriffs and State Patrol officers. I have bridged that concern to each of them and all have said that having a CCW is not and will not be the reason for a search or for being pulled over. All recommended that I actually get a CCW. There is certainly a protocol when you are pulled over, and you need to make the officer aware of the weapon location, but that is not the reason for a pullover or search.
 
don't own a gun nor have any desire to. what i do have a problem with and just don't understand those who want guns to be easier to get with less accountability. a reasonable waiting period is, well, REASONABLE. absolutely should be background checks... criminal background, medical/psychological information.

would be nice to have a UNIVERSAL set of rules, but people would have to be willing to compromise. the BIGGEST hurdles are the POLITICIANS who don't have the courage/guts/backbone/BALLS to actually take a stance.
 
Interesting that no Brits have made a comment on this thread. We have a special tactical force within the police called: The Armed Response Unit. But the British Bobby carries no firearm because that's their choice. There have been a number of surveys and even a couple of referendums about carrying firearms and the police rejected it every time. In the seventy odd years of my life I have only ever seen a firearm once and that was when, as a member of the ATC, it means Air Training Corps, or RAF cadets. It was on a two week long stay at an RAF base. Having said that, and to put it in some sort of perspective, I have never been called for jury service either.
 
I never touched a firearm until Uncle Sham handed me an M16 at the tender age of 18.

I learned that I am not a pacifist. If someone tries to hurt you or me I will not lay down and let them. So, I've been tempted many times to arm myself to the teeth. But, I resist because it's just too easy to pull that goddamned trigger.

In my group at the VA Vietnam Veterans Outreach Center back in the '80s we went around the room and each of us said what weapon we are. There were some very interesting answers. The one that sticks in my mind is the guy who answered, "A stick". Whew. That's heavy. My answer? Atomic Bomb.

Rest assured. It's defused. But just don't push me . . . :geek:

Hi @needshave how you are doing? No I donā€™t have a CCW, no I don't want to obtain one, no I will not carry or own a weapon or have one in the house. I have a quick temper and a difficult jackass of a husband. Not a good combination šŸ˜³

I hope you don't have any antifreeze in your garage. šŸ˜

Has anyone here ever actually had to use their gun in a confrontation and shoot someone? If so, did that change your mind about having a gun or did it reinforce your decision to have a gun?

Most people who were forced to shoot someone would avoid talking about it.
An exception: A guy on a gun forum was willing to talk about having had to kill someone (after the case was over & his attorney said it was OK). It was all over the news in his area, so most people already knew about it but some people wanted details that might help them in a similar situation - the type of ammo, etc. He was well known on that particular forum, anyway.

He was concealed carrying legally with a permit. He was getting gas & two guys approached him & demanded his wallet & car keys. He fired at both of them with his 45, killing one instantly & the other one ran away & was arrested later.

have never been in a physical altercation in my life... unless "fights" with sibs count. have always thought i'd get a lot of satisfaction out of setting up whoever has wronged me or mine and watching them fall... HARD... and seeing ME as it happens. a tad passive/aggressive don't ya think?!
