The mag itself isn't illegal as long as they use a block or plug. Either way, police or civilian, the responsibility lays in the hands of the purchaser now.

You're fine. They sell them everywhere around here.
31+ round magazines can only be used in registered NFA weapons according to our ORC. This does not however, apply to .22 long or short rimfire calibers. You can have a 1,000 round drum of .22 in anything, even non-NFA. |

It is legal to own whatever capacity mags you can find in Ohio. It is just not legal to use them. Anything you can imagine can be found for sale here...75rd AK mags, beta C AR mags, etc.
Once they are inserted into a firearm, that's when the law kicks in. |

Legal to own; not legal to use in a firearm unless it is a registered NFA item (the cop part is inconsequential to his legal ability to own the magazine)

I'm pretty sure you're confusing the language in the law, which albeit is written in an odd way -- the way the law is written, a firearm with capacity to hold >31 rounds is considered an "automatic" firearm, even if it fires one bullet at a time. There is legislation making its way through the legislature to change this absurd definition. |

I can tell via your comment that you have not fully read 2923 to the end where it ends with the exemptions of "firearms registered in the National Firearms Registry Transfer Record" Read it.. Been using 32 round Uzi mags in my AR-15 9mm SBR and Uzi SBR since moving back into Ohio 21yr ago after being out for 7yr,, not the first person ever bothered me. |

I did read it a few years ago and just like all lawyer mubo jumbo it is confusing how they word shit. It is nice to know I can use the larger mags when my SBR stamps get back. |

Utah residents are not bound by Ohio law in any way. You have no obligation whatsoever to determine if the magazine (or anything else legal in Utah) is "legal" in Ohio or New York or California or ... And no one cares about this trivia anyway unless they get caught holding up a liquor store with one in the gun. Or they're a complete Alpha Hotel around cops. -- Chuck |

Possession of mags with greater than 30 capacity is not illegal in OH. EVEN IF you own a mini 14 with 40 rounders. The gun is not adapted to fire more than 31 rounds without reloading UNTIL the mag is inserted. This is not like federal law where if you have SBR uppers lying around with your 16" AR15 you can be charged with intent or whatever.
If the mag is not in the gun, you are legal. |
