This doesn’t make sense. I thought the Ohio State Legislature just passed a couple of bills back in May and June that took the non-felony/misdemeanor dope smoking conviction away from the “You Can’t Have a Gun Category”, because the Feds passed the same thing a couple of years ago.
The 2nd amendment is in the Bill of Rights. They are not up for legal negotiation. They exist because they are. Shall not be infringed. Any judge or lawmaker who fiddles with it is guilty of treason. Period.
Ohio’s Court of Appeals should refer to the fourth amendment — to the Ohio constitution (enacted 1851).
“The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power.”
@bubblehead_les You are correct, HB54 was signed into law in June 30th, but does not take effect until Sep. 30th. After that point, misdemeanor drug convictions will no longer be a disqualification in Ohio. Not sure what this will do to pending cases.

No rights violation, no crime.
In this case there does seem to have been a rights violation, perpetrated by the government.
