I have 3 or 4 friends who all live very productive lives but have had convictions over 10 years ago and one asked me about it today.

I appreciate any input. Thanks
I am not aware of any Ohio or Federal law prohibiting possession of weapons other than firearms or dangerous ordnance by felons or other prohibited persons, so I believe they can carry knives today if they are not on paper or have an additional prohibition as part of their judgment.

Thank you
