The map shown on OCDO says no firearms in the car without a license. According to Ohio state statutes:
“Firearm” and “handgun” have the same meanings as in section 2923.11 of the Revised Code.
(2) “Unloaded” has the same meaning as in section 2923.16 of the Revised Code.
(B) No person shall knowingly discharge a firearm while in or on a vessel.
(C) No person shall knowingly transport or have a loaded firearm in a vessel in a manner that the firearm is accessible to the operator or any passenger.
(D) No person shall knowingly transport or have a firearm in a vessel unless it is unloaded and is carried in one of the following ways:
(1) In a closed package, box, or case;
(2) In plain sight with the action opened or the weapon stripped, or, if the firearm is of a type on which the action will not stay open or that cannot easily be stripped, in plain sight.
Here is the Ohio definition of "unloaded":
(5) “Unloaded” means any of the following:
(a) No ammunition is in the firearm in question, and no ammunition is loaded into a magazine or speed loader that may be used with the firearm in question and that is located anywhere within the vehicle in question, without regard to where ammunition otherwise is located within the vehicle in question. For the purposes of division (K)(5)(a) of this section, ammunition held in stripper-clips or in en-bloc clips is not considered ammunition that is loaded into a magazine or speed loader.
(b) With respect to a firearm employing a percussion cap, flintlock, or other obsolete ignition system, when the weapon is uncapped or when the priming charge is removed from the pan.
So basically no handguns with magazines or speedloaders...so by their own definitions an unloaded revolver and a ziplock bag of 5-6 rounds and no speedloaders whatsoever in a box with a lid constitutes as legal? Please cite statutes or case law. I'm planning on traveling from Florida to Ohio for the summer, so I'd really like to know.
