Can anyone tell me, or point me in the right direction regarding trunk gun laws in Ohio?
I would like to keep a shotgun or possibly rifle in the trunk at all times with some ammo but i do not want to risk a prison sentence for it. What are the rules concerning ammo storage ect. Thanks |

what chuck said.
stripper clips or "enbloc" clips may be transported w/ cartridges in them. but, of course, they may not be inserted into the firearm. other than that there is no restriction on how loose ammo should be transported - it can be in the ammo box, in a gun case, ..etc., as long as it is not in mags or in the chamber of a firearm (of course CCW is an exception, w/ it's own set of restrictions). i'd also suspect that it would be perfectly legal to transport a lever-action rifle in the trunk w/ the cartridges in a stock saddle.
