So I was talking to a Lt. at a local police agency that I am aquanted with and asked his opinion on "the officer saftey" side of traffic stops and he said taking the gun is stupid it can only go off if handled, so he is with us on that. I also asked him what he thought about OC and he said it is irresponsible(sp) and if i saw someone walking down Main St. in Batavia I would sight them with Insiting Panic(sp) and then tell the judge we need to talk all your weapons(basically because you're stipid). He then went on to say that the law is designed so you can carry a firearm on your farm or while hiking etc... I wont give his name but since the name of the town is there , its your guess as to which of the 3 or so agencies he works at.
CARRY ON!!!
Where and when? The AG office (via the CC booklet) has said that OC is legal, but as far as I know neither the current nor previous AG's have made statements regarding IP or DC.He's either lying or he wants to lose his behind in civil court. Lawful open carry doesn't come within 1,000,000 miles of "inducing panic" and the State AG's Office has said so...
Thanks. I knew I'd seen it in print on OFCC's forums.Back when Buckeye Firearms Association had a radio show, they dedicated a show to OC. Attorney General Richard Cordray was the first guest and I remember him saying on the show that IP was not appropriate.
Here is the mp3 of the show about OC:

The "gentleman of the law" doesn't seem to be very familiar with the laws of his State, does he?
Is it possible that such a person is unfamiliar with the very Constitution of Ohio, which reads - -
Art. VIII, § 20.
The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.

I am unable to find a Code section for "Inciting Panic" (not surprising when the definitions of incitement and inducement are considered), although the Ohio Code does have a section entitled "Inducing Panic"
2917.31 Inducing panic
(A) No person shall cause the evacuation of any public place, or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience or alarm, by doing any of the following:
(1) Initiating or circulating a report or warning of an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, or other catastrophe, knowing that such report or warning is false;
(2) Threatening to commit any offense of violence;
(3) Committing any offense, with reckless disregard of the likelihood that its commission will cause serious public inconvenience or alarm.
(The remainder is snipped as it sets forth penalties and other conditions.)
As an aside.... were the Lieutenant's lips moving when he told you that little (deleted) story?
Lots of people (LEO) say stuff they don't mean, or can't support, I wonder if the Lt's Chief has the same opinion?
More importantly, does the person who's going to have to write the settlement check have the same opinion? And when he has to pay his own punitive damages, will the cop have the same opinion... or will he just be so broke he won't be able to afford to pay attention? :lol:Lots of people (LEO) say stuff they don't mean, or can't support, I wonder if the Lt's Chief has the same opinion?
