Given that the subject was open carry in Ohio, it doesn't matter how they respond as long as it conforms to the Ohio Revised Code. That's the ONLY thing that matters.
The police are perfectly free to attempt to engage you in a VOLUNTARY encounter. If you want to VOLUNTARILY converse with them, you're perfectly free to do so. If you don't want to, you don't have to.
This idea of being SHOT for engaging in a lawful activity, PROTECTED BY THE OHIO REVISED CODE, seems like a particularly odd one. That would be manslaughter, AT BEST.
