First off, I'm new here, and so I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere. If so, kindly point me to it and I'll go read up.
If not, here's my question. I want to open carry my handgun, which is fine in public places, on foot, etc. But the transition from on foot to vehicle is where Ohio laws get stupid. I am aware that it is illegal to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle without a CCW (which I should be getting in the next month, but regardless). I have an extended cab pickup, and would like to try to get advice/experience on the proper way to transport the handgun in a truck. The law gets very fuzzy here, and I have never been able to find a proper explanation; I may have been looking in the wrong places, not sure.
And yes, I've read the laws, just can't make sense of this part, the rest is clear enough.
Anyone have any experience or clarification on this?
