Additionally, even if you legally possess a firearm, you may be charged with a weapons offense if you allegedly use that firearm in an illegal way.

Types of Weapons Offenses in Ohio

Ohio is an open-carry state, meaning you do not need a license to buy or openly carry a firearm. That being said, state law governs who may or may not own a firearm and certain weapons (as discussed above) are always prohibited. For example, those convicted of violent felonies and/or drug felonies may not possess a firearm or certain other weapons.

Our Cincinnati gun possession lawyers represents clients in a wide range of weapons-related criminal offenses, including:

• Carrying a concealed firearm/weapon without a license
• Unlawful possession of a firearm/weapon
• Possessing a prohibited weapon (such as an automatic firearm, ballistic knife, grenade, etc.)
• Selling or furnishing a firearm to a minor (under the age of 18)
• Possessing, selling, or distributing a deadly weapon on school property
• Possessing a firearm in a bar or another facility where alcohol is sold
• Defacing a firearm (removing the serial number, making modifications, etc.)
• Committing a violent crime using a firearm or another deadly weapon

Because the crimes that fall under weapons offenses range so greatly, and due to the nearly innumerable outstanding factors that may come into play, the penalties associated with weapons crimes also vary greatly. However, these are nearly always serious crimes, and a conviction could result in steep fines, jail or prison time, fees, mandatory probation, and more. You may also lose your right to own a firearm if you are convicted of a weapons offense.
