Ohio gun punishment law takes effect today
A new Ohio statute imposes extra prison terms of one to three years for felons using a firearm in 29 listed offenses with no probation. Second offenses bring two to five years, no probation for at least two years, even if the gun is unloaded or inoperable. The measure faced criticism over judge discretion and aims to curb violent crimes following the Wallace shooting.
