Understanding Gun Rights Restoration in Ohio

Gun Rights Restoration Laws in Ohio

Under Ohio Revised Code 2923.14, individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms may file a petition with the court to have their rights restored. The law requires the applicant to show they are no longer under legal disability, that restoration would not pose a threat to public safety, and that granting the request does not violate federal law.



The process involves filing a verified petition, providing supporting documentation, notifying prosecutors, and often attending a hearing. The court has discretion to grant or deny the request, which is why careful preparation is essential.

Why Gun Rights Are Revoked

In Ohio, gun rights can be revoked for several reasons. The most common include felony convictions, domestic violence offenses, drug-related convictions, mental health adjudications, or protection orders. A person may also lose these rights due to a federal or state law that prohibits firearm possession after certain charges or findings.



Revocation is not always permanent. In many cases, once you have completed your sentence or treatment and are no longer legally under disability, you may have a pathway to restoration.
