Disabled or Not?

As an Ohio Gun Lawyer I routinely keep abreast of case law across the state. A fellow attorney recently sent to me the case of State v. Marinko Thomas. Ohio Revised Code 2923.13 prohibits individuals in the State of Ohio from owning firearms if they have been convicted of ANY crime involving a drug of abuse. Historically this includes crimes from possession of small amount of marijuana to paraphernalia crimes. This has always caused great challenges for law enforcement officers and law abiding citizens who simply made bad decisions in their youth. Cuyahoga County Judge Brian Corrigan, however, ruled in the above case that the law is unconstitutional as it fails to serve a compelling governmental interest. My office has routinely assisted individuals facing such charges and is available to discuss such disability if the need shall arise. Contact my office today for a consultation on this and many other gun related matters.
