From the NRA:
In Ohio, A firearm in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is considered loaded if its magazine is loaded or a loaded magazine is ready at hand.* Muzzleloading weapons are considered unloaded if the percussion cap or priming powder in the pan is removed.

It is unlawful for a person not issued a concealed handgun license or a temporary emergency license to have a firearm in a motor vehicle unless it is unloaded and carried in one of the following ways:

•* In a closed case, box, or package.

•* Secured in a rack in plain sight.

•* In a compartment that can be reached only by leaving the vehicle.

•* For long guns, in plain sight, with the action open or the weapon stripped, or if the firearm’s action will not stay open or it cannot be easily stripped, in plain sight.

If a licensee is transporting a loaded concealed firearm and is stopped by a law enforcement officer, he must keep his hands in plain sight, notify the officer that he has a concealed firearm and a license to carry a concealed firearm, and follow all specific instructions issued by the officer.

These rules would seem to make OC difficult. One would have to unload the weapon and store it properly while driving.
