Why do some list no shipping of ammo or components to OH? Their is nothing we really restrict besides mags with a capacity over 30. Is it just an ignorance thing? Maybe on my end? Or is it a plagiarizing of other listings verbiages to stay in compliance?

Specifically I see this on GB quite often.

I have heard that some ill-conceived regulations/laws have prohibited some common-sense activities (e.g. selling child-sized bulletproof schoolbags in the State of Connecticut)-[Please don't open a debate on the wisdom of morality of passive defensive measures to protect children.])

Albert Einstein is quoted as having said, "There are only two things that are infinite. The Universe and Human Stupidity. And I am not sure about the Universe."

it pisses me off that cdnn won't ship mags of over thirty to ohio either as I am sure some others won't due. A few cities ban thirty rounders I believe. State law says that a magazine of thirty rounds INSERTED into the gun makes it a machine gun under ohio law. It does not make posession sales of such illegal from what I have read.

Who comes up with idiotic laws like these...
 
Do you have any listings Beentown? I'm on GunBroker quite a bit and haven't seen this is listings.

Just to clarify, it's any magazine OVER thirty rounds. Thirty round mags are fine.

Ohio Revised Code §2923.11(E)
"'Automatic firearm' means 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."

But they may not want to ship to Ohio because of some Cincinnati ordinances still on the books:

Sec. 708-37. - Possession or Sale of Semiautomatic Firearms Prohibited.
(a) No person shall sell, deliver, rent, lease, offer, or display for sale, or transfer ownership of, acquire or possess a semiautomatic firearm.
(b) No person shall sell, deliver, rent, lease, offer or display for sale, or transfer ownership of, acquire or possess any detachable magazine with the following capacities:
(1) More than ten rifle or carbine rounds;
(2) More than five shotgun rounds;
(3) More than 15 handgun rounds...."

As highorder stated though, as I understand, preemption makes this a non-issue:

HB347, the preemption law, became effective in March of 2007. It replaces a patchwork of varied and confusing local rules with "uniform laws throughout the state regulating the ownership, possession, purchase, other acquisition, transport, storage, carrying, sale, or other transfer of firearms, their components, and their ammunition."
 
Don't want to get into a pi**ing match over state laws but will say it is nice to live 10 miles from CDNN and 150 from Cheaper Than Dirt.

The same people who make laws allowing a jury to find a person found drunk and asleep in the driver's seat of a legally parked car with or without keys, guilty of drunk driving.

Something like, "in control of a vehicle while intoxicated".

No matter where you come down on THAT debate, it is laws that the people WE ELECT pass.

It is not sufficient, nor has it ever been in any time of crisis or transition, to simply VOTE. As the Founding Fathers did, we must pledge "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor” in order to preserve (as our forefathers did in order to secure) the freedoms we enjoy. If we do not cherish them enough to defend them, LEGALLY and through the processes our Constitution, so dearly bought, provides, maybe we don't deserve them. Certainly, we will lose them.

VOTE, by all means. But is it important to volunteer for candidates (at the local level is where we can be most effective and at the State and Federal level where it is sorely needed). Not just donate funds, but talk up candidates and issues.

We enjoy freedom to speak out on issues (not just on forums where most of the audience agrees, but where we find opposition, too) that people in Lexington and people in Kosovo do not.

If you don't want Columbus to become like Kosovo, you have to work for it.

Oh, my goodness. Where did this soapbox come from and why am I standing on it?

You look good on that soapbox.

It's imperative that we remember who our friends are and do all we can to turn out the vote next year in an effort to keep them in office, and defeat those who would take our guns away from us, or pass such stupid laws as would effectively prohibit the free exercise of our Constitutional rights.
 
It's very difficult to elect the right people when old time Democrats go into the voting booth and click the "D" and do a straight party vote. Most voters these days are either completely uninformed or brain washed by the lies. Add to that all the people getting free stuff and this country will never be the same country we grew up in.
