Syllabus

There is no language in R.C. 2929.14(B)(1)(g) addressing how multiple firearm specification prison terms are to be served. The sentencing court has discretion to impose on the offender the prison term specified under R.C. 2929.14(B)(1)(a) for any or all of the firearm specifications after sentencing for the two most serious specifications. In choosing to impose the additional firearm prison terms, the trial court made the necessary consecutive sentence findings pursuant to R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), incorporated those findings into its sentencing entry and ordered that the prison terms be served consecutively.
