Are they?
Are you limiting yourself to walking around the neighborhood, never OC'ing farther away?
If you OC and need to drive, you better know you need to transport that firearm in a legal manner. Lacking a carry permit would make OC tedious and pointless if you have to drive.

And that's exactly the point. I know this is exactly the problem in Pennsylvania, and it has been my understanding that it is also a problem in Ohio. In PA, unlicensed open carry is legal
when you're on foot, but transportation in a vehicle is a separate provision under the law and requires a carry permit except for a very few, very specific circumstances.
So open carry and vehicle transport ARE separate and different discussions. And this is why I asked you in post #7 if you were referring to ALL open carry, including by licensed persons, or only to unlicensed open carry. I many states (including both Ohio and PA) it makes a difference.
