Ohio moves to enforce domestic abuse gun ban for guards
Ohio National Guard and state authorities moved swiftly to enforce a federal domestic abuse gun ban. Maj. Jim Boling said guidelines issued in February require background checks for those with daily firearm duties, while 15,000 reserve forces sign attestations that they have no domestic abuse convictions. About 10 Treasury officers have lost gun rights, and nationwide the law has affected more than 200 officers.
