"Open Carry Walk" in Urbana, Ohio on April 19th.
A Buddy and I were talking yesterday. April 19th is Patriots' Day, and he was thinking of putting together an "Open Carry Walk" in downtown Urbana, Ohio on that day. Anyone else interested in participating?
We will contact the Urbana PD and Champaign County SO beforehand to let them know about it. The starting time will be 10:00 AM. A starting location has yet to be decided on. Afterwards we were thinking of having a party/celebration of sorts.

Is this some type of parade. Is there some kind of festival going on in Urbana?
I feel in this type of event we should be there to educate the public, with some type of literature and information.
I don't think going to just walk around with our guns will be good for the cause. If we have a specific agenda then I'm up for it.
Let me know, I only live in Englewood, which is about a 35 to 40 min drive.

Re: "Open Carry Walk" in Urbana, Ohio on April 19t
Why not skip the parade, and just have an open carry picnic at a public park? Normal people, doing normal things while armed. Now that we have preemption, people can carry freely throughout OH, so I guess I just don't see the point in the walk part. You can just open carry and go about your business.Michael wrote: Afterwards we were thinking of having a party/celebration of sorts.

Preemption was part of HB347's CHL improvement. Basically, it means that local laws can't be any stricter than state laws when it comes to owning/possessing/carrying a firearm. State law now PREEMPTS local law on this matter.MikeACP wrote:I admit I'm a little behind the times. What does this mean?Now that we have preemption

Would it be out of the ordinary to go with a rifle slung across your back? Just curious if anyones done that before

To demonstrate we have such liberties and to educate the public.jacksnack wrote:Let me ask, what is the reason for the walk?
We should occasionally exercise our freedoms even if we do not "need" to use them. We should occasionally exercise them for no other reason than to remind people that we have them. If we do not occasionally exercise our freedoms, "they" will think they're not important, and you will soon find that it's illegal to do so.
Yes, we also plan on handing out information.Lthrnck wrote:I feel in this type of event we should be there to educate the public, with some type of literature and information.

Mike,
It sounds interesting. I would agree to participate. Could you elaborate a bit more on what your toughts are for the day. Maybe post some kind of Agenda. Maybe plan a little shooting time, ON THE RANGE GUYS AND DOLLS, not at the ANTIS... LOL..
My son works in Enon, I have to drive him back and forth at this time so coming up to Urbana would not be that much further.
INPUT MIKE... NEED MORE INPUT.. <GG>

I won't be participating (too far), but I like the idea of just doing normal every day things. Even better: do something positive. Here is a video where eleven folks from the Free State Project got together for snow and ice removal of a neighborhood's sidewalks and even driveway aprons, all while open carrying. And another doing an open-carry litter clean up project in Manchester's dirtiest neighborhood.
And if you have lots of time to kill, you may be interested in seeing a video of a cop confronting a legal open carry and how the guy handles the situation.
