Also, how would the law treat a felon with a gun pre 1899 "gun"? Not carrying, obviously, just owning at home or used in a SD situation?
Just curious (I understand the lack of practicality)

Re: CHL's and felony charges?
Just FYI a burglary is what got me into CHL in the first place.
I was 18, and just purchased my first shotgun. I came home from school (senior in HS at the time) and felt my front door unlocked. I thought that was odd, but proceeded inside. I saw the backdoor was unlocked... started to get to that ("yellow" zone) of awareness. By the time I made it to my room I saw my window open, and blinds blowing in the wind. That was it. I had never been so scared. I realized 1. that whoever had broken in MAY still be there and 2. I hadn't seen my dog and was worried where he was/if he was alright. I immediately went for my shotgun and it was missing from the usual hiding place. I then grabbed the phone and ran outside, called 911. 15 minutes later two cars showed up and cleared my empty house. They had taken electronics (digital camera) xbox , my firearm, and a few smaller things. To this day the experience and feeling of being violated still is with me. I got an alarm, gun safe, chl, and still wonder if/when the next time will be.
Just my .02
(also not stating my opinion on felonies and CHL, just adding to the "real" impact factor of burglary of a habitation)
