The way the law is now, the firearm and all magazines must be unloaded before a firearm can legally be transported in a vehicle without CCW.
In regards to the lights, my father emailed me back, he thinks the headlights are included. but i never got pulled over when i used to run four driving lights and headlights on my explorer, so im not sure.
"Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with headlights also is equipped with any auxiliary lights or spotlight or any other light on the front thereof projecting a beam of an intensity greater than three hundred candle power, not more than a total of five of any such lights on the front of a vehicle shall be lighted at any one time when the vehicle is upon a highway."
But in a different section it says you can have headlights, one auxiliary passing lamp, two fog lights, and two auxiliary driving lights, thus making 5 excluding headlamps.
He also told me to check in other ohio lawbooks, and look what i found
auxiliary driving lamps mounted on the front at a height not less than sixteen inches nor more than forty-two inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands.
They moved the specifications out of the revised code? Why?
so much for being able to use my roof rack lights when i get them
But then again, i see people breaking these rules all the time around where i live, one of them close to my best friend. he's the reason i looked all this up last night. He runs Four long range beams on the roof, and two aux driving lights on the bumper, and when he feels extra saucy he also runs his 2 HID fog lamps mounted on the bumper. 8 total, and i was wondering how legal he was. apparently not very legal
I bet if i carried around copies of those revised code pages, no one would say anything. unless they knew the specifications were no longer included in the revised code.
and back to guns, Private owned nonpublic property can be controlled because you can restrict access to anyone you do not want there. Also, the buildings with the 'no person shall knowingly carry or posess' signs, those are an exception to CCW and open carry, but they have to be clearly posted outside the premises for all to see, such as the parking lots at colleges/municipal buildings, or at the front doors of a bar/private business.
As far as disorderly conduct, legally carrying with no ill intent, within all boundaries of the law? you cannot be charged with a crime where no crime is present.
If I infringe on someone else's rights by legally carrying a gun (my second amendment right, and also legal right under the Ohio constitution), them impeding my right to carry is infringing on My rights.
'Your rights are absolute only up until the point that they infringe on the rights of another.'
And i believe you misinterpreted (as i also mistyped) my prior statement on disorderly conduct, i in no way meant aiming a firearm at another person, THAT is a very serious crime, i meant acting out of line/in a threatening manner WHILE carrying a weapon. In order for disorderly conduct to have any real weight, something disorderly has to be happening.
I'm not trying to start a huge argument or anything, I also don't want to upset anyone, I cannot muster the words to properly explain what i am trying to say.
If i am carrying,
I am carrying because i feel uncomfortable in a given area,
I am alone in an unsafe area at night,
I have a legitimate reason.
I do not/will not carry unless I plan on being somewhere that fits these criteria.
If someone else feels threatened by me carrying, i am more than happy to return my self defense tool to my vehicle, the problem was that he was treated like a criminal, and almost got arrested, without breaking the law.
I must say, these conversations always go much easier face to face, talking over the internet about legal issues is so tedious.
