Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost urged state lawmakers on October 23, 2026, to clarify Ohio firearm statutes after federal changes created potential conflicts involving short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and suppressors. The statement says the legal uncertainty could complicate enforcement and compliance for gun owners, dealers, and law enforcement. Yost called for legislative action to align state law with the changed federal landscape and reduce ambiguity.
