Open carry is a bad idea in my view....it causes too much anxiety for those around you .../ ... in my view "concealed" is the point...no one needs to know I'm carrying, they may suspect, but they can't see it...
I agree, BigJimP.

OP, welcome to The World of CC. The problems you've noted are the same issues with which that just about everyone who CCs has to wrestle. You'll need to ask questions about this in your CC class. I'd suggest taking a look at www.handgunlaw.us for more information on specific OH law.
I also work in a place where I can't CC. And I work downtown, where we have a consistent population of homeless people and other possible problems. My solution has been to buy a small safe for the car. Nothing fancy, but it has a steel cable that allows me to attach it to the car. I holster up in the morning, but when I get to work, the gun goes in the safe until I leave. So the gun is locked in the safe, and the safe is both hidden from view and locked in the car. As little as I like leaving a gun in the car (& I'm aware of all of the various objections), I like driving to and from work every day even less.
Nothing NEAR the consequences if you don't!If you would ever have a need to use a gun in one of those places, what are the consequences?
According to your profile, you are in NY state. Looking at www.handgunlaw.us for New York, I found the following:jackstrawIII said:Federal law prohibits carrying certain places (schools, post office, courts, etc) and those laws are not to be broken.
But some store owner putting a sign up in their window? Please. It's my constitutional right, validated by my state pistol permit.
Unless you have more specific information than what Gary Slider at Handgun Law could determine, you may be risking arrest if you ignore "No gun" signs, and you probably should not be advising other people to do so (at least, not without a disclaimer that the signs may or may not have the force of law).Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?
“??????”
We are unable to determine if “No Gun” signs have the force of law in New York. Until we get more information Handgunlaw.us believes you should treat every “No Gun” sign on any private business as having the force of law.
Move to Ky and enjoy freedom With out all of Ohio can't do this or that.
Best move we ever did was cross the river . My wife hated Ohio so bad .She crossed to Ky for birth of1st 2 kids Just so they wouldn't be born in Ohio. We got moved and other 3 born in Ky .
In my state the owner of the property can ask you to leave, call the police if you don't. The police officer can then instruct you to leave, or issue what is basically the same thing as a traffic ticket that carries a $100 fine. No consequences as far as your CCW permit unless you have two violations. Then it becomes a one year suspension.
and this is what they mean when they say we need more "common sense" gun control.Funny how the areas with the strictest anti-gun laws and policies seem to have the highest amount of gun violence. So, so shocking and unexpected
Remember you're conversing here with people from all fifty states, and beyond. Maybe ignoring that sticky on the front window of the pizza palace isn't a criminal offense in your state, but are you advising people in states where the signs do have force of law to ignore them?Cosmodragon said:In the case of a sticky on the front window of your local pizza place, I wouldn't give it a second thought.
