As I understand it from a freind licensed in Ohio, you can pack on your person, but not in a vehicle. So, if your driving down the road and your gun is in your pocket its ok, but take it out and lay it in the console your screwed. Pretty wild.
In Missouri, its the opposite. You dont need a license to carry concealed in a vehicle, just on your person. If your 21 and dont have any felonies and legally own the weapon, you can carry it in your vehicle concealed. But, if its in your pocket, you better have a license.
Wish this could be uniformed nationwide. Even backward, screwed up states like Illinois and New York wake up and smell the coffee.
I personally cannot stand the state of Illinois. No offense to anyone living there, but their laws are the craziest I have seen. We cant even pick up fugitives there. If its a misdemeanor and someone takes off to Illinois, were screwed. Like a sovereign nation for fugitives in the US. How screwed up is that? Kentucky, at least some parts are the same way, but I have found the law enforcement to be a little easier to work with and help us get them out. Oregon is too, but they will work as well. But Illinois, forget it. No common sense. Some day I am going to be a martyr, possibly. The law can be beaten, if someone is willing to spend the cash, because it is against Federal law. No one has tried it though, due to the money involved. Someday, I want to do that. Get the right case and go for it. Then its beaten forever. ( Gotta have goals, right.
