West Carrollton PD wrong on notification

Post by Squirrel »

Unfortunately my truck was gone through last night. Nothing of any value was taken but I thought I would at least talk to an officer with the hopes of them patrolling a little more.
I answered question for a few minutes about the items taken. The the office asks for ID.
Officer: " Can I see your ID"
Me: "Sure
As I was getting my ID from my wallet, He says
Officer: "you are one of the good guys, i'm not worried about you but you are supposed to tell me if you have a CCW and whether you are carrying or not".
Me: "No I don't"
Officer: " Yes you do it is in your concealed handgun book"
Me: "The book says that I must notify if I have a concealed handgun license and I am carrying"
Officer: "You have to tell me either way" (maybe not exactly what he said but something like that)
Me: "I disagree with that interpretation and I believe OFCC sent letters to all Ohio police departments regarding this".

He dropped it after that and finished up talking about my stolen items. He was not rude or aggressive about it. I believe he truly believes what he is saying. I am thinking about emailing the department and attaching the 2923.126(A) but I am not sure what to say or how to word it. I believe it is a training issue.

Hmm. Members here have reported similar misinformation being spewed by WCPD officers in the past. Interesting, because as memory serves one of their supervisors is a CHL instructor and is sometimes a go to for local media on the subject. (I believe he even hosted an AM radio talk show regarding firearms and wasn't exactly a font of accurate information.) Again going on memory that officer has a particular dislike of open carry under any circumstances.

Don't know if this is connected to what the OP related above.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
