1. Does anyone know under the current law in Ohio if there is any regulation/limitation on the transportation of ammunition in a vehicle? I can't find any current ORC reference. I'm currently transporting my pistols in a case (long guns openly)and either throwing the ammo in the glove box or carrying loaded magazines on my person. This would violate the old arms-length loading rule, but there doesn't appear to be any requirement to move it either in an external compartment or in a locked container (in any case separate from the guns) any more, so I'm not sure if this is strictly OK or not, as long as the guns are unloaded (I don't have a carry permit).
2. Also, I am awaiting some final word from the City of Hamilton Law Department concerning the still-current localrequirement for registration of gun purchases from dealers. I believe that we are the only dealership in town, so we're the only ones affected to my knowledge, but as I understand the preemption law, the city can't require tracking of sales information (purchasers identity and weapon information), and it is, in fact, illegal for us to still be doing this. As it stands, I either have to violate HB 347 or City Ordinanace 733 every time I sell a gun. I'vesubmitted a request for information from thepolice and the city Law Department, and am awaiting a resolution.
The police have defended the practice of registration as being for the purpose of facilitating investigation of gun theft complaints and not fortracking purchasers or weapons as such - but who can say to what ends such information might be used? The city isn't challenging the new law, a la Cleveland, but have maintained the requirement by default pending a final policy statement from the city attorney, who has not ruled asyet.
Will apprise.
