Constitutional Carry Braced Pistol In Cars : What’s Allowed?

[u/GTAMuppet]

I have my CCL in Ohio but I realize we have Constitutional Carry for a couple of years now. I’m mostly wondering if something that’s chambered in a rifle caliber can be carried in a vehicle. I understand a braced gun is considered a pistol so technically it can be carried loaded in vehicle’s cabin. What about AK pistols that are 7.62x39? (ZPAP92 for example) I have asked about this at ranges and gun stores and get different answers. And I’m not simply looking for weigh-ins saying I can or can’t. That really wouldn’t make a good defense in court. These laws are so muddied I am wondering if there are official websites with the information. I have read the firearms section of the ORC and a lot of this stuff is not addressed and left for us to just “assume”. That scares the hell out of me because if I’m a law abiding citizen who happens to misinterpret a very vague gun law my entire life can be turned upside down for from a low level traffic violation.

You gonna trust your life for a LEO understanding your 2A rights when they have the I was in fear of my life get out of jail free for murder card to play?

Especially with everyone on high alert after this weekend's terrorist activity?

You're gonna get murdered buddy. See you on the news...

Just because I’m inquiring about it doesn’t mean I’m definitely doing it.

And I don’t trust LEO or any person of any occupation.

I just want you to be safe buddy! I had guns drawn on me because they saw the stock of my crossbow in the back seat!

You would think they would have to have some kind of training when open carry is legal throughout the whole damn state!

Understood and appreciated

I’m just super frustrated that in this age of information they don’t provide clearer information on the gun laws. There’s also no effective way (that I’ve found) to get information from anyone with authority that you could somehow reference if you did find yourself in front of a judge over this.

Yeah it’s really frustrating. Glad I saw your thread because I’ve been trying to read through the muddy law-speak for some clarification for the last month. I think they bank on us misunderstanding! Going to take a ccw class soon so hopefully they can clarify some questions

It's fucking crazy ain't it!

As far as I've learned the only thing that can determine what a pistol vs a rifle is the good one BATF, since we don't have any weapons bans as we're fortunate enough to live in a free state.

The problem is, some local donut juggler will swear you're a terrorist and probably murder you before you show them a BATF rule, just like they did to the guy walking around Walmart a few years back with a BB gun he picked up off the Walmart shelves.
