Vance's is part of the "problem"....

Question: Can you have a felony on your record, sentence served but record not expunged, and still own a fire arm if the felony wasn't drug or violence related? Is that a federal law? I've gotten so many conflicting answers I don't know what to think. A attorney I know said it doesn't appear to be an issue depending on exact circumstances but he said to talk to a gun dealer to be sure because they would have more in depth knowledge of the gun laws than he did? I know there's no way you could get a ccw unless your record was expunged, I'm just talking the legality of purchasing a fire arm.

 

It depends on if you commited a Federal felony or a State felony. If you commited a federal felony, your gun rights are gone. There is no way you can get it back unless you are granted a Presidential pardon. LOL. If you were convicted of a State Felony, then it is up to the state. It differs from State to State on how they can petition to have their gun rights restored. For Ohio, non-violent felons can possess firearms upon completion of their sentences. For violent offenders, they can have their gun rights restored if they petition the court and is granted by a Judge. (Now I do believe that is fucked up) IMO if you commited a violent crime, you should never be allowed to own a gun.

Thanks. I agree with your view on the violent felony as well. People screw up but forgiving people who have proven to react aggressively and harm other is not going to contribute any type of positive image to the millions of responsible gun owners.

+1... I rather drive to blackwing or briar rabbit than to AimHi. Eventhough they are like 5-10 mins away from my house.

 

I am curious to why. You can PM me if you rather not say in public.
