The 'only ones' argument is very flawed. I never thought the OHP would stoop that low.

To clarify, it is the Trooper's Association position, not the official position of the OHP or the position of every Trooper.

Interesting thing to find out is if the association polled their members prior to taking this "position" or is it a case of a Union/Association acting on it's own despite the actual opinion of those they claim to represent.

Hope the members of the association give the leadership some serious hell over this. Sounds like a recall is in order.

True, didn't think about that. All the troopers I've run into have been supportive of, well, at least concealed carry.

I'd also like to know if a poll was conducted.

If they allow the OSTA to speak for them, it makes you wonder how they could support concealed carry but oppose open carry.

If it's not true or accurate, maybe "they" ought to speak up!

Sorry, but it's their association. If they disagree with the "official voice" of the troopers themselves, perhaps they should let that be known publicly? Until then, I'm forced to believe that they oppose law abiding citizens fully exercising their 2nd Amendment rights like those in 43 other states can.

Perhaps Glock Cop could enlighten us?

Osta is basically a union and all unions follow the mandate of the annointed one.To ban all guns.
They believe only cops and soldiers should have guns.
I have never seen a good union. All they want is your money and I don't believe I should have to pay them for the right to have a job.

Sounds like Trooper Knoke is more of a union hack than an true representative of his troopers. That is sad. Unions will be the downfall of this country.
