Optional Information

RICHMOND, Virginia

Already Tried:
I'VE ALREDY REG TO VOTE AT MY LOCAL OFFICE AND CONTACTED THE ATT. GEN. OFFICE

Accepted Answer

IN NC, AFTER you have completed your entire sentence (including prison, parole, restitution, etc), then you regain your right to vote.

You simply need to go in and register.

If you have proof of your completion, bring that with you to register.

Now, gun ownership is more problematic

N.C. General Statue § 14-415.1 provides that it is unlawful “for any person who has been convicted of a felony to purchase, own, possess, or have in his custody, care, or control any handgun or other firearm with a barrel length of less than 18 inches or an overall length of less than 26 inches.” The prohibition is not absolute; it does not apply to a felon’s own home or lawful place of business.

Answer

Here is the OH law


ORC Ann. 2923.13 (2008)

§ 2923.13. Having weapons while under disability


   (A) Unless relieved from disability as provided in section 2923.14 of the Revised Code, no person shall knowingly acquire, have, carry, or use any firearm or dangerous ordnance, if any of the following apply:

   (1) The person is a fugitive from justice.

   (2) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any felony offense of violence or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been a felony offense of violence.

   (3) The person is under indictment for or has been convicted of any offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse or has been adjudicated a delinquent child for the commission of an offense that, if committed by an adult, would have been an offense involving the illegal possession, use, sale, administration, distribution, or trafficking in any drug of abuse.

   (4) The person is drug dependent, in danger of drug dependence, or a chronic alcoholic.

   (5) The person is under adjudication of mental incompetence, has been adjudicated as a mental defective, has been committed to a mental institution, has been found by a court to be a mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court order, or is an involuntary patient other than one who is a patient only for purposes of observation. As used in this division, "mentally ill person subject to hospitalization by court order" and "patient" have the same meanings as in section 5122.01 of the Revised Code.

(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of having weapons while under disability, a felony of the third degree.



So if you meet above, you can apply for a permit
