Realizing that there is a difference between simply 'owning' one and the 'carrying' of it, providing that the handgun itself is legal (e.g.: conforms to FFL regulations and the serial numbers are intact), there is no law that requires the total registration of all handguns.

However, as a matter of law the legal description of "possession" is open to varying interpretation depending on the statutes of the jurisdiction involved.

Does a concealed carry permit in Ohio allow the concealed carry of knives?

It depends on the state. For instance, in Florida, yes, it's a concealed weapons permit and it covers weapons besides just guns. If I remember correctly, you can carry any weapon that's legal to have. On the other hand, Tennessee issues a "Handgun Carry Permit" that only covers handguns and nothing else, BUT it is not illegal to carry a concealed knife as long as the knife is otherwise legal (has to be less than 4 inches, basically), so the permit is irrelevent regarding knives. ADDING: Georgia just changed their law in 2010 to issue a "weapons carry license" that includes both handguns and knives with blades 5" or longer. Such weapons are not only covered by the permit, but also not subject to any city or county local laws. State-level preemption. But that's Georgia. Other states are different.


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.
