In most states it is another felony for a convicted felon to own or be in posession of a firearm.
It would also depend upon the person's "terms of release". Even though someone has served their sentence, in most cases certain requirements are imposed upon said person, especially when it pertains to firearms. Generally a convicted felon cannot use or be in the presence of a firearm for several years; the exact time would be determined by the release agreement and/or state law . In a few states an exception is made relating to legal, licensed firearms belonging to another person but in the same residence as the person in question.
Yes.
That is not possible, you must be arrested, charged and have a trial before you can be convicted of a crime.
(in the US) I have never heard of a liquor license being issued to a convicted felon.
If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
No. A "pardon" means that only his sentence has been pardoned. it does NOT mean that his crime or offense is wiped clean. He is still a convicted felon, just as if he had served the full term of his sentence in prison. As a convicted felon he may never own, or be in possession of, firearms.
You can't be convicted unless you are found guilty. You can't be found guilty if you were never brought to court. You can't be brought to court if you were never arrested, or charged.
No. DUI is a crime because it shows an "I don't care if I kill or injure someone else by my carelessness", and such people should not be armed.
No. Probation is a sentence for being adjudged guilty. He is still a convicted felon.
Kevin Garnett has never been arrested, nor has he been a felon, wanted criminal, or any type of shady character!
No. Never. Not just in Georgia, but in any state.
Yes, it will show that you were arrested and then charged with the crime. But it will show you were never convicted of it.
A convicted felon always remains a convicted felon. That classification NEVER 'goes away. An expunged or sealed record only means that your record is sealed from the view of the general public. It always remains accessible to government agencies, law enforcement and the courts. Any restrictions placed upon you by your status as a convicted felon will always remain in place and will never go away. The only advantage is that the general public will not be able to learn of your past offense.
