I was going to start another thread in another topic, but not sure exactly where. I thought about Mindset & Tactics, but it really isn't, it is about interacting with LE.
Just got home from helping to chill out our friend that lives here:
Dirtbags that were not exactly running from the police, they were running because the police had been called. By the time we get there is lots of PD presence, along with fire, and gas company (the neighbor's house got disconnected) and soon to be towing company. So there is lots going on. I had not been "stopped for a law enforcement purpose", in other words the police did not initiate the contact. When I thought it was appropriate I casually mentioned to one of the guys that "not exactly sure about the rules, but just letting you know I have a CHL", he replied with "gotcha" and all is cool. But I didn't exactly do this "promptly", and now that I have reread the current law instead of relying on my ancient training I am wondering if any of this was necessary. OTOH if when I was crawling under the wrecked truck to try and retrieve some of our friend's property before they drug a truck back over it somebody might have seen the pistol.
Anyway, just another day in the life in Ohio.
ETA: Still trying to decide if it helped calm our friend by telling her she is damn lucky that truck is not in her living room.
