Gun Laws

In general, the answer is yes, it is possible. The Ohio Revised Code ORC 2923.125 (Section D) states that those with ANY felony conviction are automatically disqualified from being able to get a concealed carry permit. In Ohio DUIs are generally first degree misdemeanors. However, there may be aggravating circumstances that could elevate DUI conviction to felony status. Anyone with 3 or more DUI convictions within 6 years is automatically guilty of a 4th degree felony.

However, if the DUI conviction is sealed by the court, the sheriff cannot look at that conviction when processing your application.

OK- word is strict. Your question calls for an opinion. Here is my opinion- there are several thousand national, state and local gun laws in the US. In some cases, the people that made the laws do not even understand the wording in the law they passed. Many of the gun laws do not affect criminals, since they do not obey laws- but they do affect law abiding people. Violent crime- including crimes involving guns- is at the lowest rate in years. At the same time, gun ownership has gone up. Laws that prevent honest people from being able to have a gun only takes away their ability to defend themselves from crime.

21 years old. It is illegal to even possess one if under 21 unless you are doing one of the following:

(i) the temporary transfer or possession of a regulated firearm or ammunition solely designed for a regulated firearm if the person is:

1. under the supervision of another who is at least 21 years old and who is not prohibited by State or federal law from possessing a firearm; and

2. acting with the permission of the parent or legal guardian of the transferee or person in possession;(

ii) the transfer by inheritance of title, and not of possession, of a regulated firearm;

(iii) a member of the armed forces of the United States or the National Guard while performing official duties;

(iv) the temporary transfer or possession of a regulated firearm or ammunition solely designed for a regulated firearm if the person is:

1. participating in marksmanship training of a recognized organization; and

2. under the supervision of a qualified instructor;

(v) a person who is required to possess a regulated firearm for employment and who holds a permit under Subtitle 3 of this title; or

(vi) the possession of a firearm or ammunition for self-defense or the defense of others against a trespasser into the residence of the person in possession or into a residence in which the person in possession is an invited guest.

It always amazes me that the second amendment it interpreted today as if it is still 1776. At that time the British didn't want anyone but their own troops to own guns. The Americans said otherwise. We are not living then but now. We don't have single shot muskets and pistols and most of us do not hunt and gut game for food.
Now we have rapid firing hand guns and multiple round assault rifles. I agree that guns should be available for sale but those who buy should pass various tests. Other countries have much stricter gun laws and also lower homicides rates (not just for using a gun). If we don't allow certain people to fly and they are on a 'no fly' list, why can they buy guns? Why don't people who have guns secure them properly? If the idea of having a gun is so important, then there should be safety concerns addressed. We do have to wear seat belts and can't drive 'buzzed'.

The legal limit for a shotgun barrel length is at least 18 inches. However, Almost all gun manufacturers make short barrel shotguns to 18.5 inches too solve and measurement dispute that may arise.

ADDED; Measured from the muzzle tip to the tip of the stock. the entire overall length of the shotgun cannot be less than 26 inches.

Guns with a power above 0.8 joules (which includes everything above a very gentle pellet gun) may not be sold to under-18s. However, from the age of 16 it is legal to possess a 7th-category weapon (which includes more powerful airguns) provided you are licensed by a recognized sporting association and have parental permission.

Laws change and sometimes are not publicized. For correct information, contact the State Police

It took seven years for the second amendment to be ratified.

Yes. This varies by whatever authority has jurisdiction over where you're carrying. It is legal in some states to carry a pistol before you're of legal age to actually buy or own one. Then there may be clauses under which one might find themselves exempted, e.g., as an 18 year-old Combat Medic stationed at Fort Drum in Upstate New York, I was assigned an M9 pistol. Being transported from the cantonment area to the field training area required us to travel on public roadways which were not the jurisdiction of the military. Thus, without such an exemption, it would've been illegal for me to possess and carry that M9 while the vehicle was on those roadways.

Gun control has improved a lot over the past 200 years. For example, compare the wild west to now.

There is no one permit that allows someone thats not a federal agent to carry a gun in all the 48 states. Now you could get a license as a armored car guard and while in the course of your job you would be legal in the 48 states. The fire arm interstate transportation act makes it legal to transport a weapon in a locked box through any state as long as you are in route to a state that you are allowed to have that weapon as long as its not in a console or a glove box and in cars without a trunk it cannot be accessable from the drivers seat of the vehicle. You could get a concealed permit and some states have recipacating agreement for up to 35 states

This amendment speaks to state militias and the right to bear arms.

Added:

In a recent Supreme Court ruling the right of individuals to keep and bear arms

(at least at the Federal level) was how the Amendment was interpreted.

Most likely, but who cares protect your little friend.

If you have not yet registered the fire arm they could take it. They can do this because since you have not registered the fire arm it is illegal.

If that is not the case then when and if they handed you paperwork when they came into your house did it state why they were there.

Hello. Thank you for replying! Actually they did not show my father any paper work at all, matter of fact they were not going to even give my father any type of documentation of proof they seized it. My father had to tell them, well no one is leaving with that fire arm with out either me getting all necessary record of so, or your supervisor here leaving with it on camera, and pointed to surveillance they did not even know was there. one officer said sorry, then once the supervisor and camera came in the picture my father said they folded like 7/2 off suit, wrote out the receipt after lying about it all, and left. They were only supposed to check that the vins matched to confirm the original owners claims, and to confirm I indeed had it. they lied.

If someone, including an adolescent, shoots a dog or a person with a BB gun, he or she would be charged with a serious crime. In some cases, the crime would be considered a felony.

Arrested? Yes. Convicted? Not if the assault was a felony, or against a domestic partner.

No, not unless it is a privately owned beach and you have the owners permission and it is not in city limits. You can not fire any type of firearm for recreational purposes on public property, unless it is a place designated to do so, such as a range.

Generally speaking, yes. If you were never convicted, you can obtain a permit. If the charges were expunged, it depends. Expunged is not necessarily the same as having your rights restored.

It isn't difficult. You do have to take a class which lasts 8 hours, and costs between $50 and $100 depending on where you take it. Once you take the class, you apply to the state, pay $115, and about 1-2 months later, you get the permit in the mail.

No. Hunting is not allowed in City limits

In To Kill a Mockingbird, it was their Uncle Jack- Atticus was not interested in guns.

contact the authorities in Colorado, they may not want anyone else to start shooting guns, so hopefully they will change the laws regarding firearms.

In accordance with Massachusetts state law:

Chapter 269, Section 12: Air rifles; possession by minors; shooting

No minor under the age of eighteen shall have an air rifle or so-called BB gun in his possession while in any place to which the public has a right of access unless he is accompanied by an adult or unless he is the holder of a sporting or hunting license and has on his person a permit from the chief of police of the town in which he resides granting him the right of such possession. No person shall discharge a BB shot, pellet or other object from an air rifle or so-called BB gun into, from or across any street, alley, public way or railroad or railway right of way, and no minor under the age of eighteen shall discharge a BB shot, pellet or other object from an air rifle or BB gun unless he is accompanied by an adult or is the holder of a sporting or hunting license. Whoever violates this section shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars, and the air rifle or BB gun or other weapon shall be confiscated. Upon a conviction of a violation of this section the air rifle or BB gun or other weapon shall, by the written authority of the court, be forwarded to the colonel of the state police, who may dispose of said article in the same manner as prescribed in section ten.

Hope this helps!

You are asking for an opinion- my opinion- the US already has over 20,000 laws and regulations concerning firearms, at Federal, State, and local level. Many people that believe that control over firearms should be increased do not know what laws are already in place. Again- strictly my opinion- trying to control crime by regulating guns is like trying to control drunk driving by regulating cars. This DOES tend to be an emotional issue. The link below will get you started on some readings both for and against further gun control.
