Since the first and only charge was more than 5 years ago, answering YES to question #1 (which you have to to be truthfull) and answering NO to question #2 in my opinion you should not have a problem.

You may try and contact the Sherriff's office and ask them.

I would call the sheriff and see what they say. If they say "no," you might want to call the sheriffs of adjoining counties.

As long as the offense was not committed against an LEO it should not prevent you from obtaining a CHL

Going on the info provided I would answer yes to #9 and no to #10 through #12 c

In order for it to be disqualifing it would need to be against an LEO or, since it is your only offense, have occured with in the past 3 years.

I imagine the OP won't se this, maybe he will but my question is how does the system allow someone to buy a gun through an FFL holder but can deny a CCW License ?
I have asked quite a few people this question and can never get an answer, is there anyone I can call for a specific answer?

Read the law...

Seriously, though - the requirements for an Ohio License to Carry a Concealed Handgun are different than the limitations and restrictions on firearms purchases. For example, a simple drug offense is a serious problem for the Ohio license, but not a serious issue for an NICS check.

Thanks
I always just figured that any conviction on any drug charge was a deal breaker on any gun ownership

Thanks again
