Question: | What if I move to Columbus after the November 9, 2005 deadline, can I bring my assault weapon(s) with me? |
Answer: | No, you will be in violation of City Code 2323.11, "Unlawful possession of an Assault Weapon." You may however register your weapon(s) during the one time only registration period if you anticipate moving to Columbus after November 9, 2005. |
Question: | What if I'm not sure my weapon is an assault weapon? |
Answer: | Check with a certified gun dealer, or be on the safe side and register your weapon--there is no fee. |
Any law which requires you to register a firearm is nothing more or less than a prelude to confiscation of the registered guns. The only reason that any politician wants to know who has guns and where they are is that he or she intends to have them either turned in or picked up at some later time when the political climate is right for it.
