On the one hand, this story underlines the point that more officer education concerning firearms law is necessary.
On the other hand, it just underlines the point that if an ordinary civilian is going to carry, he needs to make sure that he's following the law in other areas of his life, too.
I was asked to sign a "consent to search" form once by the Ohio Highway Patrol. I advised them that they could take a look through the car if they wanted, but I declined to sign anything.
The friendly Trooper then wrote, in ink next to the signature line on the form, "I don't to sign".
"See," he said, "now if you sign there, you're just stating that you don't want to sign!"
Despite these re-assurances, I still declined to sign.
They looked. They found nothing, of course, although they clearly thought I was up to something. All I was guilty of was driving across Ohio to check out the campus of the University of Michigan.
In retrospect, it occurs to me that going to Ann Arbor is probably enough to give an officer reasonable suspicion in Ohio....
