It's legal to buy, just not legal to use..silly Ohio laws

 

(Note: It is not illegal to own or possess magazines with capacity greater than 30 rounds; so long as they are kept separate and apart from a firearm designed to accept it. The magazine only violates Ohio law once the magazine is inserted into the firearm, "adapting" the firearm to fire more than thirty-one cartridges without reloading.)

Not legal, but the question is, who is gonna tell? I bought an SKS from a pawn shop with a 40 round mag in it. I'll quote my police friend/gun dealer, "it's a tack on law that is only gonna get you in trouble if you're making trouble with it." But it is your own risk to take. Question is, is it worth it?

That is the old Cincy ordinance 708-37 that was invalidated by statewide preemption in ORC 9.68

Legal to own, not to use.

If used the weapon become a dangerous ordnance.... Buttttt if the weapon is in the National registry (NFA) such as a SBR or Machine gun then they are legal to use.

 

 

ORC 2923.11 then go to ORC 2923.17

 

House bill 191 is trying to fix this.

Get to the Reps and let them know to get on the ball.
