Yes, it's loaded.. I just wanted to be clear on this. Handgun mags ok, rifle not.

HB 422 - The bill that would repeal the requirement to "promptly notify" also contains a provision that would repeal the current definition of "loaded" and replace it with the common sense definition.

There can be a million "what if's" that can be discussed. The easiest thing to prevent all of them is to simply drive in a manner that does not attract the attention of law enforcement, therefore preventing any contact with them.
I generally agree and I do drive in such a manner. However, in the event that I make a mistake or am involved in an accident not caused by me or am pulled over because of a light out that I didn't know about, I'd rather not be committing a felony when it happens. Murphy's Law is a real bitch.

The way I read the code if you have a CCW and a Handgun, the section does not apply at all......even if you have other firearms with loaded magazines in the vehicle. It simply states if you meet coditions a and b, I.E. a CCW and a Handgun then it plainly does not apply.
My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.
I can where you're coming from there. I drew my conclusion from the wording in the exception "The person transporting or possessing the handgun". I don't know of any case law that backs either interpretation. I try to keep up with the Ohioans for Concealed Carry forums and the general consensus there is that, in Ohio, there is no legal way to transport a loaded long gun in a motor vehicle.

I'm an ex Ohio resident and now a Pittsburgh, PA resident. While it would be nice to get rid of the parts of the law the OP quotes. I would rather see the notification requirement addressed first.
As I have friends and family in Ohio and visit often I obtained a Utah permit as Ohio does not issue non-resident permits and Utah has reciprocity with OH.
It would be nice to bring my AR with mags loaded if I wanted to shoot back in Ohio but what I really want is the notification requirement removed.
