I am going to be visiting family in Ohio this thanksgiving, and I want to be sure I understand the laws correctly.
I am a kansas resident with a ccw permit. Ohio doesn't have reciprocity with Kansas at this time, so that is moot.
In Ohio, I can open carry in any county without issue as long as it is not in a posted no carry area. Also, there is no carry whatsoever in restaurants.
However, when driving around, since I do not have a ohio recognized ccw permit, I have to have my gun unloaded, and no loaded magazines, with the magazines/ammo separate from the gun where I cannot reach the two without exiting the vehicle.
Now, If this is all accurate, this is a question that i have. My glove box does not lock. Will it still count as a container if I have my gun in there and my ammo/empty magazines in the trunk?
Furthermore, my car has one of those little crawl throughs in the back seat to reach the trunk (about half a foot wide and 1.5 feet tall. Does that negate it as a seperate part of the vehicle requiring me to get out to get to the ammo?
