незаконний

The Ohio Criminal Code also provides another kind of actual incarceration as an en-

hancement of the penalty for committing any felony while having a firearm, an automatic

firearm, or a firearm equipped with a silencer on his person. This enhancement is applicable

only where the sentence for the underlying felony is a life sentence or an indefinite senten-

ce. Where an offender is convicted for any felony and it is proven that offender had a firea-

rm on or about his person when he committed the felony, and where the sentence imposed

is a life sentence, the judge must sentence the offender to an additional three-year term of

actual incarceration. Where the firearm is an automatic firearm or is equipped with a silen-

cer, the mandatory sentence is a six-year term of actual incarceration. Actual incarceration

based upon the use of a firearm, an automatic firearm, or a firearm equipped with a silencer,

must be served before and separate from any other incarceration, including another actual

incarceration, for the underlying offense.

It cannot be served concurrently, that is, at the same time as the incarceration for the

underlying offense.

These offenses are common offenses and many of them are subject to enhancement,

that is, the offenses and penalties become more serious because of the offender’s criminal

history or because of the monetary value of the item or service which was illegally taken

or used.
