In the Ohio code, the term "dangerous ordnance" includes: automatic firearms; short barreled rifles and shotguns; firearms of "crude or extemporized manufacture"; and devices that are not designed as firearms but can be adapted for use as firearms, or are capable of being used as firearms.
"Automatic firearm" is any firearm designed or specially adapted to fire a succession of cartridges with a single function of the trigger. "Automatic firearm" also means any semi-automatic firearm designed or specially adapted to fire more than thirty-one cartridges without reloading, other than a firearm chambering only .22 caliber short, long, or long-rifle cartridges.
It is unlawful to knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any dangerous ordnance. Exceptions are:
Owners of dangerous ordnance registered under the National Firearms Act;
Authorized state and federal officers, agents, and employees, members of the armed forces or organized militia, and law enforcement officers when acting within the scope of their duties;
Licensed importers, manufacturers, and dealers.
It is unlawful to negligently fail to take proper precautions to secure a dangerous ordnance against theft, acquisition or use by an unauthorized or incompetent person, and to negligently fail to take precautions to insure the safety of persons and property.
