I'm surprised nobody has suggested the husband get his felony sealed.

There is a process for doing that, if it can be sealed he can own guns and even get a CHL as far as I know ?

I know I'll be corrected if I am wrong (thats why I like this site) but the OP said that her husband was in his early 20's so he would have been tried/convicted as an adult. I think only if he was under 18 he could aim toward getting this sealed.

I'm sorry that is completely incorrect, far more than 1 frequent poster at OFCC has gotten an adult record sealed.

There are some limits...if the person had a string of convictions it may not be possible...but 1-2 indiscretions can be sealed, DUI along the way count as indiscretions however. I know a man who is in his 60's now who had an armed robbery conviction expunged (may have long enough ago that Ohio had expungement)

How about "sober up" and "mature"? How about "guns are restricted to responsible individuals"?

Six DUIs in two years? And wants a gun? Scary.

Why isn't he incarcerated with a record like that? I would think he already has a lawyer if he is walking the streets.

My ex-husband had a felony conviction (he was an adult when he got it) and he got the conviction expunged. He was allowed to own handguns but was not able to get his CHL. They rejected his application in spite of the expungement.

Some crimes might preclude a CHL even with sealing ?

They have changed the law. He should reapply, since he would get it now.

Believe me, he's the LAST person on earth that should have a CHL! I'm glad they rejected his application. Also, on the application it asks if you've ever been convicted of a felony...he put "no" since his record had been expunged. They stated that he had lied on his app so fortunately, he will never get a permit.

Well it seems this is an emotionally charged topic ;-). BUT in many cases (maybe not the CHL application) if you have a felony expunged, you truly can and should answer "no" on things like job applications, and people do ask here how they should answer after their records are sealed....so there is some confusion.
Have a great day today unless you have made other plans :-).

Even with an expunged/sealed record I dont think you can get a ccw permit.

Not true. Sealing the record has two impacts. First it removes the federal disqualifier that normally attaches to a felony. Second, the offense can no longer be considered when qualifying for a CHL -- it is as if the conviction never happened.
