Even worse, according to Ohio law you are prohibited from possessing a gun if you've been convicted of
any drug offense, no matter how minor the offense was. They say you are "disabled."
I'm pretty sure Ohio is one of the few states in the union with such a law. See ORC 2923.13 for more info.
But there is hope. If you live in Ohio and have been convicted of a drug offense, the prohibition
might be lifted if the state decides you are no longer "disabled." The first step in this process is to fill out a "Relief from Weapons Disability" application. See ORC 2923.14 for more info.
So
Bearcat, if you own a gun and have never applied and received a "Relief from Weapons Disability" from the State of Ohio, you, um, might not want to advertise it.
You should also fill out the application ASAP.
So now I'm wondering... if a person fills out a "Relief from Weapons Disability" application, and if it is accepted, can they get a CHL? Or are they simply allowed to own firearms again?
