Hello,
Thought I'd introduce myself before asking questions. My name is Rob. I'm 34 and a father of 2, will be 3 in a few weeks. I live outside of Cleveland. I've been debating on whether to get my CCW or not. I've had people to tell me to, and people tell me not to. I came across this website trying to find reliable information on open carry. After reading the first 2 pages of topics, I decided to register because of the how thorough the responses were.
One thing that I can't seam to come to a comfortable conclusion on myself is about the laws with vehicles and open carry. I understand once you get in a vehicle or on a motorcycle its considered concealed. This is a two part question.
2923.16 Improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
(A) No person shall knowingly discharge a firearm while in or on a motor vehicle.
(B) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle in such a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger without leaving the vehicle.
(C) No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a motor vehicle, unless the person may lawfully possess that firearm under applicable law of this state or the United States, the firearm is unloaded, and the firearm is carried in one of the following ways:
(1) In a closed package, box, or case;
(2) In a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle;
First question. I drive a chevy trailblazer (suv). Technically everywhere in a suv is accessible without leaving the vehicle. At 34 I am still perfectly capable of climbing over my seats all the way back to the tailgate. So, if I put my clip in my center console and my gun in one of the back non-locking compartments meant for jumper cables or whatever is that sufficient? Or if I put my clip all the way in the back and lock my gun in the glove box or simply put it in the center console? What's my best bet here to not have to deal with any headaches?
Second question. On a motorcycle, is putting the clip in my pocket and the gun under the rear locking rear seat(sport bike) fine? If not, how do I go about transporting it? What about a Cruiser (Harley) with no locking compartments?
Also, If you wouldn't mind. From your point of view what would be some major pros and cons to ccw vs oc.
Thanks in advance.
