👉 The Ohio Weapon Act, enacted in 2007, is a state law in Ohio that restricts the possession and use of certain firearms and ammunition. It prohibits individuals who have been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor, or a nonviolent crime offense involving firearms from possessing, carrying, or using them. The law also limits the types of ammunition that can be used with specific firearms, such as banning high-capacity magazines and certain types of ammunition like shotgun shells with a capacity greater than 10,000 grains. Additionally, it requires that handguns be unloaded and disassembled before being stored or transported, and it imposes strict penalties for violations, including fines and imprisonment. The Ohio Weapon Act aims to reduce gun violence by limiting access to firearms in high-risk situations.
