SB214

Remove firearm mufflers, suppressors as dangerous ordnance

Chamber Passed·3/25/26

Removes firearm mufflers and suppressors from the definition of dangerous ordnance in Ohio law.

This bill amends Ohio law to exclude firearm mufflers and suppressors from the definition of dangerous ordnance. It specifies that these devices are not considered dangerous ordnance, aligning with federal regulations under the "National Firearms Act." The bill also repeals existing sections of the Revised Code that previously included these devices in the definition of dangerous ordnance. This change affects individuals who own and use these devices for lawful hunting purposes.
