Next OC event in SW Ohio?

Open Carry is carrying a firearm unconcealed in Ohio. OC does not require a concealed handgun license, but the practice requires intimate knowledge of the law since there are places and situations where OC is prohibited but carrying concealed would be permitted. OC is also likely to attract attention. This forum is for discussion of OC, not for debating the pro's and con's or coordinating any type of protest events.

Subject says it all. Anything in the works? Anyone want to get something going?

Not that I've heard of - but I'd possibly attend - if anything does pop up.

I'd still like to see the (deliberately?) misworded signage related to firearms carry taken down from Cincinnati places like Fountain Square. While we're at it, try to convince the mayor and clowncil to repeal their city ordinances that are in conflict with ORC 9.68.

It's not that I live or work in Cincinnati but certainly spend time there, so their problems do potentially affect me. Also, maybe if Cincinnati did a big ol' repeal job and we made a media splash about it, other towns in the region might, in a "monkey see, monkey do" fashion, follow suit. I certainly have seen the nearby 'burbs follow Cincy's lead on some things municipal, whether the ideas were good or bad to begin with.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

I've been in email contact with the new mayor of Cincinnati.

It's possible we could get some traction on repealing the invalid laws that are not enforced.

If that happens, the signs would start coming down.

My suggestion is to call, mail and email the mayor to let him know that YOU WANT Cincinnati to repeal all of the firearm laws that are invalid and are not enforced.

Let him know that it is NOT "a sign that the city is soft on gun crime", but simply a state law (R.C. 9.68) that the state is forcing the city to follow.

(There is a thread for this issue in the 9.68 Compliance forum)

Because of this change in administration, we SHOULD have several open carry walks and picnics, preferably as early as the weather will allow.

Landen Deerfield Park (Warren Co.) was mentioned in another thread as a good starting point for the season.

I think we should also focus on parks that are near the residences of the Cincinnati mayor, vice-mayor and city council members.

This would make it easier for those elected officials and their families to attend our events.

Here is a link to the lists of county voters. I assume that all of our legislators are registered voters and their addresses should be in these lists.

http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/pls/voter/f?p=111:1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The city council page, with member names, is here:

http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/council/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can someone please take a look for city council member names in the voter lists?

Don't publish their addresses, but rather the public park(s) nearest to each member or mayor.

I would do this, but I have to try and work this week.

I'll put something together today NOW.

In order of greatest number of elected officials within relatively close proximity:

1. Mt. Airy
2. Washington Park
2. Ault Park
2. Daniel Drake
3. Mt. Storm

I would have to say that our greatest chance for a big publicity "splash" would be at Washington Park in downtown/Over-the-Rhine. Either that or Fountain Square at ground zero of the city.

I agree with this assessment. The other parks won't be as visible to the general public.

Parks? Not so much, IMHO.

Clifton (where the University of Cincinnati is) or downtown!
Yes, I do believe in open carry. An openly armed man is clear in his intentions. Concealed carriers are sneaks and skulkers and elitist, boot licking, political contribution making, running dog lackies of The Man. <wink> (thx grumpycoconut - OpenCarry.org)

Burnet is not so good for being noticed, but it's a dandy meetup point for a Clifton walk or two or three.

We could split up and go around both sides of the UC campus, and elsewhere...! :twisted: :twisted:

My fertile mind is working on an idea. Stay tuned.
