ORC 2921.11 E states
From what I can tell, this is only ever used in a 'specification' that a grand jury can tack on to charges (2941.144). Many people out here seem to think that this definition means that any semi-auto firearm with a magazine of greater than 31rounds is an automatic weapon and subject to NFA rules.
A friend here just pointed out that this 'belief' is B.S.. Yes, if you commit a crime using a AK with a 75rd drum they'll probably tack this specification on (forcing 6 year mandatory sentance).. big deal, you just robbed a bank, killed somebody, whatever.
Anybody know otherwise?
(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.
