Is it legal for a person residing with a convicted felon to possess a firearm in the home if firearm is secured in Ohio?

This is a "dicey" question and sounds way too much like someone is trying to "split hairs." Bottom line: It is unlawful for a convicted felon to own or "BE IN POSSESSION OF" firearms. If you reside in a home where there are firearms present you are deemed to have access to them and, therefore, be 'in possession' of them. This question has been addressed on more than one occasion by the US Supreme Court. The state where you reside has NO bearing on this whatsoever.

∙ 11y agoNo. I don't think any states allow felons to own firearms.
No you definitely will never own a firearm in Ohio if you have a felony conviction there.
A felon cannot legally possess, own, or have access to a firearm anywhere in the U.S. under federal law, UNLESS the felon has had his or her rights restored.

∙ 11y agoIf by "weapon" you are referring to a FIREARM - no. Not under Ohio law or Federal Law. However, you can petition for the sealing of your record, assuming your offense is eligible. You can then petition to have your gun rights restored.

SOME (but by no means all) states do allow convicted felons to possess a firearm (IN THE HOME) under strictly limited circumstances. I believe Texas is among these (or may be the ONLY one).
RESEARCH YOUR OWN STATE'S LAWS CAREFULLY! The federal statute is VERY clear on the subject of felons having access to firearms, and unless your state law specifically allows it, you are liable for arrest and prosecution.

Can I have a pistol in my glove box locked and not disclose it to law enforcement in the US or(kansas)?
No. Whether the glove compartment is locked or not, that is a concealed weapon within reach, and it requires you to possess a concealed carry permit either from that state or from a state with which reciprocity exists, and you have an obligation to disclose, always. Even if you're in a state in which a secured (secured meaning, locking system such as a trigger lock or cable lock on an unloaded firearm itself) firearm isn't considered a concealed firearm, the obligation to disclose still exists.

Can you transport a weapon in or through Maryland if it is taken apart?
Federal law says that you can- and it does not need to be taken apart, but it DOES need to be secured. In the federal regulatory code, Title 18 Section 926(a) The Peaceable Journey Act, under Part 1, Chapter 44, states: "Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation, the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: "Provided, that in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console."
