Syllabus

Appellant's defense counsel was not ineffective for failing to warn him that under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9), he would forfeit his right to own a firearm by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor violation of R.C. 2903.13(A), nor did the trial court fail to meet its obligations under Crim.R. 11 by omitting such a warning, because appellant's loss of his right to own a firearm, a disability resulting from the application of federal law, was a collateral consequence of appellant's plea, rather than a direct consequence. Furthermore, appellant did not establish that R.C. 2943.033(C) is unconstitutional, on its face or as it was applied to him in this case. Judgment affirmed. (Donovan, J., concurring in judgment only.)
