6 months
A guy has his gun rights stripped for five years for using weapons while intoxicated. Court says:
We find the five-year firearm condition/sanction against appellant for a misdemeanor violation of R.C. 2923.15(A) [using a weapon while intoxicated] under these circumstances was unreasonable, overbroad, and an unwarranted implication of his Second Amendment rights.

Second amendment rights are not the real issue here.
The judge thought he could subject someone to a 5 year probation for a misdemeanor. The appellate court dumped it back down to the maximum sentence length for the original offense.
Pretty simple, and correct on the part of the appellate court, IMO
