As a CCW holder in Ohio since it became law, I have always carried in my vehicle when traveling, but with the changes in the law, can now carry concealed in a vehicle instead of visible on body. I do have a gene that requires me to travel at above speed limit ( although very slightly) almost anytime i'm on the open road outside of city limits. Someday, i knew my day would come, with the blinking light guy....Yesterday it happened...
by an OHP officer to boot. Guess i was doing 65 in a 55....at least so he says...
So, as i pull on to the side, i pull out my billfold and secure my license and CCW, and hand to the officer while stating that i had a firearm in the vehicle.
I usually carry , at least in the summer, in a fanny pack on my side.
Was asked to step out of the vehicle with my hands in the air while he unzipped the fanny pack and looked inside, then zipped back up. Was very pleasant and advised that all LEOs may not behave in the same manner, but he was OK with guns....Told me to get back in the vehicle, while he performed his fine penmanship then said to "have a nice day...."
ODD thing.......never asked for registration...never asked for POI.......just wanted to see the gun.....
Strange ????
