Basically, forever. If you have a felony on your record, you cannot own or possess a gun. You can sometimes have some rights restored, but you should check with a local attorney for more information.

If convicted of 4th degree felony in Ohio can you still get a concealed carry permit?

It doesn't matter. Even if the state has a liberal enough "shall issue" legislation that a convicted felon can obtain a CCW, as a convicted felon you may not purchases, possess, or have access to firearms under federal law. Ipso facto, you could potentially have a concealed carry permit, but you would not be permitted to have a gun.

Can a convicted felon in Georgia get a concealed carry permit after rights are restored?

If you're expecting to get gun rights back after a felony conviction, don't hold your breath. In some shall-issue states, it is possible for a convicted felon to get a concealed carry permit. However, it's still a felony for them to own, possess, or be in a situation where they have access to firearms, and the CCW doesn't negate that.
