I have been through this exact situation. IN the state of Ohio,it is unlawful to attempt to purchase a firearm while under weapons disability. In the state of Ohio,anyone who has EVER been charged with even the slightest drug charge is under weapons disablility,including misdemeanors..The fact that the ncis delays you,yet in three days dont respond,does NOT mean you dodged the bullet and can just go get your gun. Its YOUR responsibilty as a law abiding citizen to make the proper judgement here..Get a lawyer,take care of this like an adult. As long as you have a drug charge on your record,you are commiting a felony by attempting to purchase,possess,or even shoot someone elses firearm...period.
2923.13 Having weapons while under disability.
(A) Unless relieved from disability as provided in section 2923.14 of the Revised Code, no person shall knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any firearm or dangerous ordnance, if any of the following apply:
(1) The person is a fugitive from justice.
(2) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any felony offense of violence or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been a felony offense of violence.
(3) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been an offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse.
(4) The person is drug dependent, in danger of drug dependence, or a chronic alcoholic.
(5) The person is under adjudication of mental incompetence, has been adjudicated as a mental defective, has been committed to a mental institution, has been found by a court to be a mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court order, or is an involuntary patient other than one who is a patient only for purposes of observation. As used in this division, “mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court order” and “patient” have the same meanings as in section 5122.01 of the Revised Code.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of having weapons while under disability, a felony of the third degree.
