The Chief of Police in Willowick has followed through with his promise to help us effect change at the statewide level by writing a letter to Ohio Attorney General Nancy Rogers. His letter echoes the concern of our own, that there are misconceptions among many in law enforcement regarding the legality of open carry. We hope AG Rogers will help resolve the problem and ensure all law enforcement agencies in Ohio are aware of the fact that open carry by law-abiding citizens not otherwise restricted by law is perfectly legal. OFCC thanks Chief Lazor for his continued support. Click here to read the Chief's letter Florida's Attorney General is accepting complaints from citizens regarding businesses that violate state law by banning employees from keeping firearms in locked vehicles in company parking lots. Perhaps Ohio's Attorney General should follow suit and solicit complaints from law-abiding citizens who have been subjected to harassment by law enforcement for openly carrying a firearm in accordance with the State Constitution? |
