I've researched and ORC 2923.16 appears that it's perfectly legal to have a loaded magazine for a rifle in the vehicle as long as... (see exert below)
(i) A package, box, or case with multiple compartments, as long as the loaded magazine or speed loader and the firearm in question either are in separate compartments within the package, box, or case, or, if they are in the same compartment, the magazine or speed loader is contained within a separate enclosure in that compartment that does not contain the firearm and that closes using a snap, button, buckle, zipper, hook and loop closing mechanism, or other fastener that must be opened to access the contents or the firearm is contained within a separate enclosure of that nature in that compartment that does not contain the magazine or speed loader; I've talked to a couple LEO and they said it's illegal to have a loaded magazine anywhere in the same vehicle. Am I missing some other law somewhere else??? http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.16 |
