Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Ohio

I have non violent felony 5, I still have the right to own firearms, my question is can I get my CCW? I have looked everywhere but application is not clear. The law is you can not have a felony that can land you in prison for over one year, a felony 5 is maximum 12 months, so is it the same law to get a CCW? It seems like I am is some legal gray area
