Along with Stand Your Ground, bring Ohio's self-defense laws into line with the other 49 states so that self defense is no longer an affirmative defense. Put the burden of proof / production on the prosecution.
Also (and, we were *so* close last session!), from the poll for the 130 OGA: Repeal of RC 2923.126(B)(9) -- ridiculous to be unable to carry in buildings we paid for. Should be language that prohibits posting of any public building or property.
We also need to have a single, clear, concise rule concerning storing firearms in a vehicle at otherwise prohibited properties. It pains me to say it but even Illinois figured that out.JustaShooter wrote:First, we need to get the stupid broken stuff passed last session fixed - most notably, the requirement to post signage *still exists* for those places removed from the statutory no-carry list or optionally allowed to permit carry.

Can you fix that for me?
Notification is huge because it's easy for people to get hinged up on it. I've worked in law enforcement for 11.5 years. The biggest law that I see people arrested for is failing to notify. I've never seen an arrest for a statutory CPZ. The only time I've seen an arrest for a business posted CPZ is when the person wanted to argue instead of just leaving. Yet, I've seen people arrested for honking their horn as the patrol officer walks back to their vehicle. The officer states that wasn't "promptly notified" and therefore they issue them a citation.Ole_grizzly wrote:I don't necessarily disagree with trying to get notification repealed, but I often wonder if the energy poured out on these forums surrounding the issue is a lot of residual anger from the early days of concealed carry.
I've been pulled over a few times in the 6+ years I've had my chl, and because I notified promptly I believe it caused warnings to be generated instead of a ticket, which I would have deserved in every sense.
It seems as if most Ohio police departments understand the law, I haven't heard of notification horror stories in a while, and I just question why that would be the top priority?
To people un-familiar with firearms who have never thought through the need or value to carry a defensive weapon, they think we sound like idiots for complaining about notification to an officer. Yes, every reason we are complaining about is valid, but those type of people would never in a million years think through the consequences that could happen with the current ambiguity.
Therefore, the reaction is predictable, and they just further strengthen their opinion that gun owners are crazy. I have tested this out on a few people I know that aren't comfortable around firearms, and this response is consistent.
However when I discuss the patchwork of places we're allowed to carry or not, there is far more understanding. Many times telling somebody that the state creates invisible boundaries around otherwise similar places where the same people go to where carry is allowed in one and not the other, like certain buildings at the zoo or fairs, post offices, church parking lots with day cares, etc.
I think going after more uniform laws in regards to statuatory cpz's is a much better argument, and last month the legislature has shown a willingness to enact some laws in that regard.
In no way is this a criticism, I applaud the work this group does, and I'm looking forward to finding some time to figure out why I can't renew my membership. (I did send a support email which was answered, but no luck yet.) thanks to everyone for your efforts!
Are those ofcc people or the public in general? What is more beneficial to ofcc members? Going after a non-starter so far by the legislature to try to help people too lazy to learn the law? Or go after something that would benefit the membership every day if more cpz's were removed?The biggest law that I see people arrested for is failing to notify.
