This website lists areas where breed specific legislation and bans exist. According to this, Ohio HAS declared Pit Bulls dangerous. You should look into specific cities and counties for exactly how this is interpreted and regulated. It could be purchase, breeding or ownership over all.

As to why, many localities, along with most insurance companies, are responding to the actions of ignorant dog owners who allow and even encourage their dogs to fight, menace or injure another animal or human.

Dog breeds evolve with specific characteristics and purpose; the pit bull breed is a relentless fighter and menacer of bulls and other big game. These facts, along with poor breeding and even worse living conditions, will often result in an individual dog who cannot be trusted.
