Anyone know of examples of prosecutions for setting of tannerite in Ohio?  
I'm looking for actual court records, not rumors, hints, threats, etc.

If you are causing an issue with a neighbor, I'd bet there is something that could be dug up.



Last weekend, sheriff cruisers when screaming past our house.  I turned on my scanner app and heard what that was about.  Then a separate complaint was called in about exploding targets.  The deputy arrived, a few minutes later he called back in service with the comment "they have a safe backstop, I'm 33".



Just be respectful of others and don't be obnoxious and I think you'll be fine.



This happened Ashtabula County.

I was told that its an F-2 if you set it off in Ohio.  (by someone who thinks he knows it all)

I'm trying to see if anyone has actually been charged.

And that would be the state firemarshall's OPINION. Not what the OP is asking for. A judge/jurry's opinion is the one he wants. By the SFMs opinion the smokeless powder most of us possess would be illegal the way I read it.

It's the source of the controversy is what it is.  It is not rumor, threat and the other things OP didn't want to hear about.  There are no cases to my knowledge.

You average posts twice a month and have that sort of a 'tude?

Happy Easter Cotter!

Sorry if I seemed to step on your Easter lilly, not my intent (maybe a lil short/sweet because I am posting from my phone). I did briefly search the OSC website today and found nothing to support it with case law.

There have not been any to my knowledge. I have seen some sound ordnance and disorderly conducts but nothing for the dangerous ordinance part.
Most LEO don't seem to care as long as you use it responsibly.

Here is the important things you need to know.

Most reactive targets are a combination of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder which could be considered sensitized ammonium nitrate while mixed.

ORC 2923.11
(K) "Dangerous ordnance" means any of the following, except as provided in division (L) of this section:
(K)(3)  Nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose, nitrostarch, PETN, cyclonite, TNT, picric acid, and other high explosives; amatol, tritonal, tetrytol, pentolite, pecretol, cyclotol, and other high explosive compositions; plastic explosives; dynamite, blasting gelatin, gelatin dynamite, sensitized ammonium nitrate, liquid-oxygen blasting explosives, blasting powder, and other blasting agents; and any other explosive substance having sufficient brisance or power to be particularly suitable for use as a military explosive, or for use in mining, quarrying, excavating, or demolitions;

ORC 2923.17
(A) No person shall knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any dangerous ordnance.

Not to mention if you use it to blow something up then it could be considered an explosive device.
ORC 2923.11
(H) "Explosive device" means any device designed or specially adapted to cause physical harm to persons or property by means of an explosion, and consisting of an explosive substance or agency and a means to detonate it. "Explosive device" includes without limitation any bomb, any explosive demolition device, any blasting cap or detonator containing an explosive charge, and any pressure vessel that has been knowingly tampered with or arranged so as to explode.

And due to the broad term for explosive, reactive targets can be considered explosive which is also in the dangerous ordnance section
ORC 2923.17
(M) "Explosive" means any chemical compound, mixture, or device, the primary or common purpose of which is to function by explosion.

There are people shooting at tannerite or some other type of exploding target EVERY weekend at one of the local gun clubs I belong to.

Fin Feather Fur sells binary targets in Boardman, OH, including the one pounder.
Bet shooting one in the outskirts of Youngstown would have the swat team on you in a hurry.
