OldMarineVet Posted August 27, 2014 at 02:26 PM Posted August 27, 2014 at 02:26 PM Ohio? I know it doesn't recognize Illinois CCL. But I'd like to find a range over there. Anybody know if Ohio out-of-staters can transport a firearm in a trunk. I looked up Ohio gun laws and didn't see anything about this.

I told the officer I'm from IL and knew IL CCL is not recognized in OH. But, I wanted to bring a firearm there to use on one of their ranges. The officer said to lock the firearm in the trunk and separate the ammo. He suggested I put the ammo in the glove box.

Some of it scary in fact.

Thank you, Glock23 (I like Glocks also.) Yes, these rules are much less restrictive than what the policeman told me. Are these Ohio rules? Thanks again

Great website (will get CCW app when I get smartphone.) Thank you, Glock23. So, I'll bring firearm in a case (open action but no lock) and boxed ammo in locked trunk. I'll put loaded magazines in glove box. Thanks, again

Thanks, again I prefer to do my look-ups on www.usacarry.com <http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_reciprocity_maps.html> Their "build a map" features show a more accurate map of where your permits are honored because usacarry asks if your CCL is resident or non-resident. Makes a big difference in the result. I tend to trust that sites' info on the state guns laws a bit more as well. Of course, the best source is individual state's info.

I like the way it shows "states that honor my permit" and "permits honored by state." What was good about the handgunlaw sight was the state laws. It showed more about Ohio's laws than I got from Google searches. If you don't see me on this site anymore, be careful with it
domin8 Posted August 29, 2014 at 04:09 AM Posted August 29, 2014 at 04:09 AM I have found that by simply complying with the federal transport statute in pretty much covered in all but the dumbest of states.
