Hello,
This is my first post on this site. I live in Englewood, OH. I have been thinking about the open carry in my area. So I went down to the police department and checked on what they had to say.
I wasn't shocked when the police really didnt know what to think. I have read so many stories about LEO's not knowing what the actual laws are. But they did say that they had no local lawsagainst[size=[font="Times New Roman"] [/font]][/size]it, and that they would follow the state laws.
So over the last week, I have open carried twice. The first time was around 10:00pm and I was stopping at the local convience store for some milk (no not UDF, they are a posted no guns allowed) but just a little store. I was also in my Marine Corps League uniform which probably validated my Good Guy image to some extent. I didnt have any problems but there was only a couple of people out at that time.
The second time was yesterday at about 5:00pm at the local Taco Bell. Went in to order. Several people in the place at that time. Got some funny looks but no one paniced and or called the police. Got my order and left. So not to bad so far, but I have yet to be stopped by our LEO's.
I think my next area will be walking around the block with my dog. I have already been open carrying around the outsidemy house so people have seen me there. Would like to hear from any other people in this area with any of their experiences.
