State Legality Matrix / Forced Reset Triggers / Ohio
Are Forced Reset Triggers Legal in Ohio?
Statute-cited, last verified 2026-07-28
Yes. No state statute reaches one-pull-per-round forced reset triggers.
Federal baseline
Under the 2025 DOJ settlement with Rare Breed Triggers, an FRT fires one round per trigger function and is not an NFA machine gun federally. The settlement covers rifles and grip-forward pistols; it does not extend to grip-fed handguns (Glock, S&W M&P, Canik), whose federal FRT status remains less settled. State bans operate independently of federal law through broader state machine-gun, trigger-activator, or rate-of-fire definitions.
Scope: Forced reset triggers (Rare Breed FRT-15, Dairyland Defender, and similar) and forced-reset selectors (AR Super Safety, ARC-Fire). One round per trigger function. Binary triggers are a separate class.

Forced Reset Triggers Worth Buying
If your state is green on the map, these are the FRTs we recommend. The Rare Breed FRT-15 line is the settlement-covered original, and the Triggered Company's Disruptor and LAT are the strongest alternatives on the same one-pull-per-round mechanism.
