Re: Am I looking at jail time
Having weapons under disability is a third degree felony. Sentences for third degree felonies range from one to five years. However, probation is also an option. Under Ohio law there is neither a presumption for or against prison sentences for third degree felonies.
It is really up to you whether you use a public defender or hire a private attorney. What is important is that you have an attorney.
