Is Ohio anti-gun?

Even though our CCW law has a lot of problems, Ohio gun laws are generally not very restrictive.

Pros:
--No firearms owner ID card system for purchases
--No waiting periods
--No gun registration at the state level (some cities do require it)
--No limit on number purchased (such as 1 gun a month, etc.)
--Unloaded firearms may be transported in motor vehicles without any requirement that you be en route to or from a range or other sporting actvity
--No "assault weapon" ban at state level, some cities do
--Full auto weapons can be owned if federal requirements are met
--No ammo restrictions, such as the NJ ban on hollow points
--Shall issue CCW

Cons:
--No state premption over local ordinances, except for the CCW law
--there is a magazine capacity limit, but it's 30 rounds (except for .22s), so it's not a horrible limit
--The flaws and restrictions in the CCW law, especially the car carry plain sight nonsense.

The biggest problems with the CCW law are the car carry issue and the lengthy list of prohibited locations. The restricted locations seem very similar to what a lot of the other states have, but the car thing is definitely unique.

We're definitely a lot better off here than states like Illinois, Masachusetts, New Jersey, California and Maryland.
