strapped in the stadium? Ohio CCW laws

[Carsman]

LC, as an off-duty policewoman, you were allowed to carry a weapon into these type places, were you not?

my (Fla.) Sheriff told me we were never off-duty, only off shift. i carried at all times in my county. concealed when not on shift.
and if we wore anything, even a baseball cap, that IDed us as Sheriff Dept. we were required to carry.

i was appalled talking to some local town officers here (Mass.) who told me they had to lock up their weapons when off duty. i was shocked actually. you never know when you are going to run into someone who...ahem...doesn't like you. or when the guy in front of you at the 7-11 is about to rob the place.

Off duty LEO's carry weapons ²⁴⁄₇ as per policy, no problem with that, they're extra protection for the public. However, this proposed law is talking about "John Q public" CCW. Different scenario all together, apples & oranges.
