Ohio SB303 allows 18-21 year olds to purchase handguns from federally licensed dealers.

Ohio SB303 amends the Ohio Revised Code to permit individuals aged 18 to 21 to purchase handguns from federally licensed firearms dealers. Previously, Ohio law prohibited anyone under 21 from purchasing handguns. This bill specifically allows those aged 18-21 to make such purchases, provided certain conditions are met. The bill also makes technical corrections to existing sections of the Revised Code.
