Non-resident OC in Ohio
Had an interesting chat with a gun store/gun range operator down here today. He also teaches Tennessee CHL classes.
He has relatives in Dayton, and claims that "a state office" (Ohio AG ?) told him by phone that a non-Ohio resident, who had not been issued a concealed carry permit/license in any state, could not open carry in Ohio. I tried to explain to him that in Ohio, OC, since it is nowhere made illegal, is therefore legal, and that as long as the person was otherwise entitled to possess a handgun, they could OC in Ohio all day long (not in the car, prohibited places, etc., etc.). He seemed convinced of what he was told.
Any nuances to this that I'm missing ?

Nope.
He's full of excrement or he was given false information.
Press him for the name and phone number of the person that gave him that info.

Re: Non-resident OC in Ohio
Or to the Ohio Attorney General's Concealed Carry Laws pamphlet, page 14:
Open Carry
Ohio’s concealed carry laws do not regulate “open” carry of
firearms. If you openly carry, use caution. The open carry of firearms
is a legal activity in Ohio

As far as I know, Canadians can come down and walk around open carry. I wonder if they know that.

Re: Non-resident OC in Ohio
If the Canadian has no felonies in the US but does in his home country, does US law apply?
Unarmed people are vulnerable people, and criminal predators prey upon them.

Interesting scenario.gaptrick wrote:If the Canadian has no felonies in the US but does in his home country, does US law apply?
As long as they're in this country, I would say yes. The difficulty would be in determining if the foreign "felony" at issue would also constitute a felony under US law sufficient to give rise to a firearms prohibition.
Just my uninformed opinion on the topic, though.

That's usually the way that out-of-jurisdiction prior convictions are determined: Do the elements of the offense reasonably match?sodbuster95 wrote:Interesting scenario.gaptrick wrote:If the Canadian has no felonies in the US but does in his home country, does US law apply?
