Southwest Ohio Meet & Greet welcomes Kentucky & Indiana

There is a Meet & Greet on Dec 3 at 6:00 PM at Carmela's in Springdale, OH. We would love to have a contingent from Kentucky & Indiana join us. There's been a LOT going on in the area regarding OC so come join us for dinner and get all the stories.

As I OC in SW Ohio area several people have approached me indicating they would like to OC, but are a little nervous. Coming to OC with a group of like-minded folks is the perfect way to start. Or, CC if you want, just come.

Carmella's Restaurant has hosted events before and is very 2A friendly (especially to those who tip well). The restaurant is an Italian buffet that includes some pizza, but also has an extensive Italian entree menu. The meeting room will be reserved under the name "Tri-State Firearms." This is not another organization forming. I just needed a name to reserve the meeting room with. OC or CC is left up to the individual.

If you plan on attending please respond so that I can give the restaurant a ballpark head count. See you there.

I'd be happy, and honored to meet up, if ya don't mind a smoking pink camo clad OC'er ^~^

Btw, I'm not sure of Ohio law regarding out-of-state residents OC'ing. Is it legal for a KY resident to OC a loaded sidearm in public, or at resturants? Are there any city ordinances or state laws barring transport of a loaded sidearm in plain and open view in the front half of a vehicle, within, or not within reach of a driver? So many questions~ I don't wanna get arrested or ticketed for something I didn't know of, or for doing something that is fine over here~

Also, no CCDW for me, so it's either OC or not carry at all.

(Oh, btw, if anyone east of Owingsville wants to, I'd be happy to do a carpool~ jsut park at my place, I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee that'll seat five comfortably, 10-cd changer, good radio, heated seats, awesome heater, and handle bars up top for if my driving scares you!)

Loaded OC is legal in Ohio without a license. However, as soon as you get in the car it is deemed concealed. To keep it legal in the car, you need to unload and remove all ammo from magazines and speed loaders. Otherwise it's carrying concealed without a license, a felony.

My turn to 'bump' this thread. See y'all tomorrow at the event!
