ohio magazine capacity laws

Post by htower099 »

for a long time there was a limit on 30 rounds in a magazine, in a firearm, in ohio.
it was explained to me by a LEO friend that a 100 round fully loaded drum mag that was not in a firearm was fine law wise, but, as soon as any magazine that was loaded with more than 30 rounds was placed into the magazine well , legally it becomes a destructive device.. and a 100 round drum with only 30 was fine in the laws eyes..

now, a conversation nearly exactly as typed above, was answered w/ the line:, "that was changed when the straight walled cartridges in lever rifles were made legal for deer hunting, about 2 years ago. you can load any amount the magazine is made to hold, into any suitable weapon". fully topped off so to say..

my question to the forum here is: what is the current status of magazine capacity in any rifle/pistol, in ohio, that has large volumn magazines on the market"?

thank you ahead of time for / all replies.
