Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

My employer of 7 years is trying to make me sign a do not compete clause. I work in Ohio and the clause states that I cannot get a job in the same industry within 500 miles of our office & for a period of 18 months. Should I sign this? Would I be able to get unemployment if they fire me for not signing it??
