My first issue with that (regardless of state law) is do you notify before or after the sale? Sounds like before. Therefore you have to know for sure that you are going to do the transfer. And what info will they require? Probably info you won't be able to get before a sale.mrbone wrote:Utterly useless, won't prevent a single crime.ohioborntexan wrote: •Prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm without reporting it to the police.

Now, the pain in the butt part of me would love that to pass and wish Cleveland was closer. A few ways to mess with them come to mind...
1) Find two people willing to make what is now a legal transaction. I don't care if they really exchange or not. But have them stand 5 feet outside of the city limits then someone call to report an illegal firearm deal. When the police arrive, they can't touch it being just outside of the city.
2) If you have to notify prior to the sale, notify them. Then go back in 30 minutes later and notify them you didn't like the gun so you are de-notifying them of the sale.
3) Schedule an OFCC buy back. Then if prior notification is required, notify them you are buying an unknown amount of guns. You aren't sure what people will turn in therefore you don't know how to properly notify them.
4) Find someone to really mess with them about it. Keep exchanging a gun back and forth EVERY day. Just keep notifying them daily of the exchange.
Do all 4 of the above and they will quickly realize how pointless their law is. And it would just be fun annoying them in the first place.
