"The more law-abiding people that have guns the better off we are," said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said.

"Because the bad guys always have guns," he said. "You look at these school shootings or church shootings, the ones that have been stopped, it was because someone there had a gun."

Ohio is still a crook. My state has a lifetime carry license, open carry and have always been cool with having weapons in your vehicle regardless if its holsterd! Basically if you have a permit in Indiana - you can do pretty much whatever lol. I dont care much for Ohio or Illinois.
