How Does an Ohio Resident Lose Their Gun Rights?
A person can lose their 2nd Amendment right to own and bear arms in a number of ways, including:

- Determined by a Court to be mentally incompetent;
- Are subject to certain restraining orders.
How Does an Ohio Citizen Restore Their Gun Rights?
If you’ve lost your right to own and bear arms under the 2nd Amendment because of a felony conviction, there is a mechanism under Ohio law to restore those rights.
- A person must first have completed their sentence, including being discharged from probation, parole and not be under any court supervision;
- A person must be a “fit subject” for relief by leading a law-abiding life;;
- A person must NOT have had any new convictions since the conviction that led to the loss of their gun rights.
