Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Re: unregistered firearm

If you were in the City limits of Cleveland or Lakewood, you're in trouble (6 months mandatory jail)

Exactly what did the officer say he saw as far as the drug dealing...

Re: unregistered firearm

It depends on what the officer says he saw which could give him probable cause to pull you over. (were people approaching your vehicle, were you in a high drug traffic area, etc.) As for the gun, you will most likely be charged with CCW(carrying a concealed weapon) and if it is your 1st offense for that, it is a misdemeanor of the first degree = maximum $1000. fine and 6 mo in jail. THere are a number of affirmative defenses to a CCW charge and the law was just recently rewritten. Feel free to call me on this matter. 216-241-1214
