Question
under the ohio gun laws am i permitted to carry a shotgun with a felony 5 breaking and entering

Answer
Are you sure this is the question you wish to ask here, Quincy?

It's been clearly and repeatedly stated that I am not an attorney, and do not provide legal advice... yet here you are, asking legal advice.

Additionally, this is a Second Amendment topic... can you explain how this pertains to the Second Amendment?

As a general rule, with any sort of Felony conviction, without having obtained a Certificate of Relief from Disabilities, the Felon is a Prohibited Person: unable to vote, possess a firearm, obtain certain types of employment.

So, no, Quincy Hood, you would not permitted to carry a shotgun.

I can answer questions about Handguns, Rifles, Ammunition, the Firearms Industry, the "gunzine game," practical accessories for self-defense (CCW) handguns; rumor control on firearms myths, errata on the "gunshop grapevine."

I am NOT an Attorney, and nothing I provide here should be relied upon as legal advice. Therefore, please do NOT make inquiries about Criminal Justice issues... this is the Second Amendment topic.

Nor do I do "Private Consultations." Want to made it "private," retain an attorney.
