Didn't see this anywhere else... just was posted on absoluteBS today. http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=130_SB_18 from how I read that, even a semi auto pistol is considered an assault weapon. (D) As used in this section, "assault weapon" means an automatic firearm that has not been rendered permanently inoperable, a semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine with the capacity to accept ten or more cartridges, and a semi-automatic firearm with a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept ten or more cartridges. Luckily I am technically allowed by this law to possess an assault weapon since I am 1) Officers, agents, or employees of this or any other state or the United States, members of the armed forces of the United States or the organized militia of this or any other state, and law enforcement officers to the extent that the officer, agent, employee, or member is authorized to possess or acquire an assault weapon and is acting within the scope of the officer's, agent's, employee's, or member's duties; Please god let this be laughed at by the rest of the Senators in our state and tossed into the fire of lunacy.
