Under 18 U.S.C. § 922, a person convicted of a felony is prohibited from possessing a firearm anywhere in the United States. Some states allow a convicted felon the return of his or her Second Amendment rights, after a given amount of crime-free time, usually around 10 years. Ohio, specifically, does not offer expungement of criminal records, but does offer record sealing.
Added: The 'sealing' or expuingement of a felony criminal record makes no differnce in a felons right to possess a firearm. Sealing/expungement applies only to the public's access to your record. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies still retain the right to view your entire full record.
