When I did my road trip from Ohio to Arizona last spring, I called every state and several city (LEO) jurisdictions as well as going to packing.org, state web sites and my "Traverlers Gun Guide."
With the mish mash of CCW states (some with recip, some without) and open carry states and peaceful journey states and no-carry states there here was no way safe and *legal* way for me me to consistantly transport a firearm with me other than utilizing the 1896 FOPA (in the trunk).
I could CCW in Indiana, but one has to pull off the interstate to store it for Illinios... oops, did I just pass the state line or is it up there somewhere? Then you get into Missouri which is open carry but has no preemption. I was told by the State Police that they had no way to keep track of all the county, city, township, and village laws that may or may not be on the books.
As for Mr. Jordan, why would he not think that he would be a "prudent person" under Ohio law, as was Mr. Feeley, of Ohio v Feeley fame?
A few thousand dollars worth of weapons and ammo as well as a vehicle and money to protect, let alone his life. Wouldn't a "prudent person" as per Ohio Statute take steps to protect himself and carry concealed as the law suggests he is permitted to do?
Oh, yeah, that prior restraint thing of an affirmative defense that makes you prove your innocence in a court of law.
Just dandy.
BTW, a confession, all the whining I've done and I still haven't sent my $20 dollars yet. It's grant-writing season and I've been pullling 15 hours days and working weekends.
Forgive me.
