Welcome... glad you're interested in OC.
First off you need to really do a lot of research.
You may or may not have trouble with police depending on their disposition and how their department has been trained on dealing with OC...
I would recommend you get a digital recorder for ANYTIME you oc... especially since you don't have a CPL. You can't carry anywhere that has a liquor license... including the parking lot. So meijer... the gas station that sells beer, etc... are off limits and that includes storage in your car. You can't legally lock your gun in your trunk in meijer parking lot without a CPL. Don't get tripped up by a place that has a license but doesn't sell beer.... SpeedWay for example has a corporate/blanket liquor license.... You cannot carry or possess a firearm on the premises of any speedway without a CPL.
Bronson will be by soon to provide all the citations for anything I have said...
It is a daunting task to OC without a CPL. I do it as much as I can, but it's challenging and can be dangerous for your freedom if you don't know what you're doing
