In OH, if the mag has more than 30 rounds, the firearm is considered an illegal machine gun, even if it is semiautomatic.

Go to the hometown forums under Ohio to get your answer! And they are correct!

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the mag that can hold more than 30 rounds is legal. However when inserted into a gun the gun is considered a machine gun. Which is fine if it is NFA registered. However if it is not it is an illegal machine gun. But the mag itself it legal to sell, own, etc.

True, I got busted at the range with my SAR-1 and 40 round mag. They were nice about it and even produced the paper with the law on it. guess they get that alot.

Ohio used to be a sanctuary for gun rights (at least compared to MD, where I"ve also lived). I guess those days are over. I've also seen on some distributor web sites thtat they won't ship even 30 round mags to Columbus or Cleveland, so it must be worse there. SOA

Noone busted me. A bud of mine told me about the law and I just wondered if he was right. Of the five ranges I go to most of my shooting is done on my range which is anywhere on the 90 acres my dad and I own or one of my friends' ranges.
