Group Plans 'Gun Walk' To Promote Concealed Carry Change

A group is expected to push for the right to carry concealed weapons, by
walking through a neighborhood with guns strapped to their hips. The
so-called "Gun Walk" is scheduled for next Sunday in Cincinnati.

Organizer Vernon Ferrier says he hopes the demonstration prods the Ohio
Supreme Court to rule soon on whether to overturn the state's ban on
carrying concealed weapons.

Justices heard arguments in the case in April. Ferrier is among those who
sued to overturn the ban 3 years ago.

It's legal to carry an unconcealed weapon in Ohio. Gun rights advocates say
police often use charges such as inducing panic to stop people from doing
so.
Of course as we've already seen, "inducing panic" per Ohio Revised Code means you have to be doing something illegal first.
