The only other OC oriented bill is SB680 which repeals authority for political subdivisions to regulate open carrying of firearms and requires certain local ordinances incorporate statutory justifications.

Here is the list of bills in both Houses dealing with firearms - 96th General Assembly, 2nd Regular Session - Bills Indexed by Subject - FIREARMS AND FIREWORKS.

Oops, maybe I meant to say firearms bills. Personally I'm supporting and hoping for HB 680 to pass. This bill would give us true preemtion across the state.

like i said i dont watch this so at this level it shows it passed if i read it right,but does it go elswhere now for more talk ?

If OC is legal then yes. Person who made call was disturbing the peace.

Jake, that is the dilemma we face. While the person exercising their right to OC, when their otherwise legal actions cause someone to call the police (inconvenience, alarm...) it is usually called disorderly conduct.

When people speak to a dispatcher, what the reporting party actually saw, then told the dispatcher, then had the dispatcher relay that to officers on the street is frequently different.

You can saw who cares, I am exercising my right, just understand you will be caught in the rift of misunderstanding until things are sorted out.

Whoa. How can a legal action be disorderly conduct???

So a person is "alarmed" by the sight of another person legally carrying a firearm. The person carrying did nothing wrong, broke no law, etc. That fact that the other person is "alarmed" is tough cookies. That person needs to be enlightened on the law.

What if a person is walking down the street dressed like Gene Simmons, Marilyn Manson or in gothic garb?? Do you now sight that person with DC, because the other person is alarmed???

That is crazy! Hunting is the only time I OC - if being mauled by an animal or attacked by a pissed off hunter, you want the quickest possible access to your sidearm.

It depends, yelling fire is perfectly legal, and in some instances encouraged; however, could be construed not only as being disorderly, but could be a felony (Inducing Panic ORC 2917.31).

C'mon, you know as well as I do there will be no true enlightenment, it is pointless. Both parties were completely within their bounds.

I will point out though, that nobody would have been alarmed, and called if it was never on display in the first place.:tbo:
