For the sake of the student I am definitely not saying where he got his CHL. Not even sure why you want to know except to bombard the Sheriff with phone calls, thus insuring the student will not be issued a renewal when the time comes.
It could also be for the sake of the student...

He gets pulled over for something and they run his license. CHL pops up as well as Felony (assuming on my part it would show up). It would be terrible to see him go to jail and face additional charges based on the fact that a Sherriff interepreted the law a certain way (or incorrectly). Hopefully the Sherriff would take some heat too; hard to say though...

If he was convicted of a felony would they have not, at the time of his conviction, told him that he could not possess or handle a firearm?

As Color of Law notes, the feds refer to a conviction which COULD result in imprisonment for more than one year, thus an Ohio F5 does not incur federal disability because it cannot result in imprisonment for more than a year. The individual should not have a problem owning or handling a firearm.

If the sheriff granted him a CHL, he should not be in trouble either but a different (or the same) sheriff may decide to not issue a renewal based on their interpretation at the time of renewal. Also, the sheriff could decide to revoke the CHL. If the individual can get his record expunged, he will be good to go after SB184 becomes effective.

Or the Sheriff, in order to avoid the backlash if the person got caught doing something he shouldn't be, could deny ever having been told that the person had a felony and charge him with lying on his application.
