Are Binary Triggers Legal in Ohio?

Ohio Revised Code section 2923.11 defines an automatic firearm and places it within the state's dangerous-ordnance framework, with possession and licensing addressed elsewhere in Chapter 2923. The current ATF compendium does not identify a separate binary-trigger or rate-enhancement category.

Binary triggers are legal under federal law and are not machine guns under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b); ATF treats the trigger pull and the trigger release as two separate functions of the trigger, so one round is fired per function. Cargill v. Garland (2024) concerned bump stocks, not binary triggers, and does not change this.

Scope: Binary triggers (Franklin Armory BFSIII and similar): fire one round on trigger pull and one on release. Forced reset triggers are a separate class.
