Are local governments in Ohio allowed to enact their own firearms regulations?

Yes, local governments can impose stricter regulations
No, state law preempts local firearms laws
Yes, but only regarding the discharge of firearms
No, unless specifically authorized by the state

The correct answer is: No, state law preempts local firearms laws

Local governments in Ohio are not allowed to enact their own firearms regulations because state law preempts local firearms laws. This means that the state law takes precedence over any local regulations, so local governments cannot impose stricter regulations or regulate the discharge of firearms. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that local governments have some level of authority over firearms regulations in Ohio. However, the state of Ohio does have a process for local governments to request specific authorization for certain regulations, but this is not a blanket authority for all local governments to enact their own regulations.
