I understand the lifetime disability of owning a firearm. But what if the state issues you a hunting license? I can't hunt deer with a rope. I can't hunt dove with a bull whip. So it is ok to step aside the law if I am the state and receive money, but if you actually want to have a gun, then that is another matter.Jumping Frog wrote:Certainly sounds like a felony -- any conviction that carries a possible penalty greater than one year means a lifetime federal disability. If you currently own any firearms, I would strongly encourage you to have a trustworthy friend or relative keep them on your behalf until the day you clear your record and restore your rights. Possessing firearms while under federal disability is a felony. Talk to an attorney about whether you can get your record expunged or sealed, since that is your only practical avenue to restoring federal firearms rights.sonnen42 wrote:. . .

BTW, don't try to purchase any more firearms either until the day this is cleared up. Attempting to purchase a firearm while under federal disability is a crime in itself.
Not trying to start anything or blame anyone. But doesn't it seem just a little one sided that if a person was convicted and served his time, then the law should also forgive him? Drug possession is a big difference from murder or armed robbery.
As far as the son also being turned down, that is because he has warrants for traffic tickets. As far as he state is concerned, he is a fugitive from justice.
