In Ohio, penalties attach when a weapon is carried improperly in a car. Ohio law calls for the weapon to be "unloaded," which seems obviously to mean that you cannot fire the weapon and have a bullet shoot out. However, common sense is not always applied in the law. There have been disputes as to whether, for example, a gun with a clip, with the clip loaded but not in the gun, is "unloaded." This might seem obvious, in that the clip being separated seems to mean "unloaded." However, this is unclear.
The Ohio House has passed a bill to clear this up. But, the Ohio Senate has not yet acted on this. Hopefully, the State of Ohio will clear this matter up.
