Bill Summary
To amend sections 1533.04, 2923.11, and 2923.17 of the Revised Code to remove firearm mufflers and suppressors from the classification of dangerous ordnance.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to remove firearm mufflers and suppressors from the classification of "dangerous ordnance," which are items generally prohibited from possession. Specifically, it amends existing Ohio Revised Code sections to exclude these devices from the definition of dangerous ordnance, thereby making their possession legal under state law. The bill also removes a provision that previously allowed possession of a suppressor for hunting under specific conditions, indicating a broader deregulation of these items. The term "suppressor" refers to any device used to diminish the sound of a firearm discharge.
