Hey all, I'm a bit of a noobie to the gun world and definitely an open-carrynovice by definition; I didn't even know it was an option until tonight! Igo to school here in Akron, and the recent armed-crime spike got me interested in self-defense options. I know this is the place for stories, but I had a few Q's;
1) Does open-carry only pertain to handguns?
2) If so, what are my options for OC if I'm not old enough to own a handgun?
3) If OC does not pertain only to handguns, what are the limits on small-arms that I can carry? i.e. rifles and shotguns?
I have a feeling that I couldnt just stroll down the street with a *semi-auto*AK-47 loaded and ready to rock...but if I had the rifle unloaded and a low-capmag in plain sight, would that be kosher as far as OC goes? I mean I am a good 2 years away from being able to purchase/carry a handgun, and people are dropping like flies in my area...I mean two persons were robbed at gunpoint and one shot in the back RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE STATION...assailant was never found. I feel the necessity to take my personal safety into my own hands and I am wondering if this is the route for me.
Thankyou very much for your time
