Maybe. According to US federal law, the most likely barriers areif the theft was a federal crime punishable by imprisonment of over ONE year OR a state crime punishable by imprisonment of over TWO years, orif the theft was committed by violence or under threat of violence (e.g. armed robbery)If you're under certain types of restraining orders, then that would also make you ineligible.State laws vary, and it's possible that they may be more stringent than federal law.
Sounds like a definition of the word "CRIME" to me.
