no its a weappon
NOT TRUE:
A prohibited possessor is;
(b) Who has been convicted within or without this state of a felony or who has been adjudicated delinquent for a felony and whose civil right to possess or carry a gun or firearm has not been restored.
A.R.S. 13-3101 (A) (4) 4. "Firearm" means any loaded or unloaded handgun, pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun or other weapon that will expel, is designed to expel or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive. Firearm does not include a firearm in permanently inoperable condition.
Now, this makes it sound like it includes a muzzy until you read the definition of an explosive.
A.R.S. 13-3103 (A) (3) "Explosive" means any dynamite, nitroglycerine, black powder, or other similar explosive material, including plastic explosives. Explosive does not include ammunition or ammunition components such as primers, percussion caps, smokeless powder, black powder and black powder substitutes used for hand loading purposes.
The best thing is for the guys to ask their PO....but, as u see, they can use a muzzy.
I say yes, I have a letter from the Gov. restoring my gun rights. When I went to buy a gun. They had to send my information to the feds, they sent back a letter telling me I was good. I think it depends on they type of felony and the length.
File a request with Maricopa superior court, write to the judge who convicted you. That's what I did.
I'm a convicted felon, so don't trust me. LOL! I'm also NOT an attorney. Arizona criminal laws are silent or at least purposely vague on the use of longbows, compound bows, crossbows, slingbows, etc. There's a catch-all in ARS 13-3101, A.1 that states, " "Deadly weapon" means anything that is designed for lethal use. The term includes a firearm." So technically, a good prosecuting attorney could get you for possessing a fish hook even if you practice catch-and-release. Also, a bow of any sort does not fall under the definition of a firearm (ARS 13-3101, A.4). Of course your PO isn't going to come out and say you can possess a bow or arrows. And God forbid if you get caught with a nunchaku or chinese star. In short and as a blanket statement, bow hunting is legal for a convicted felon. But if the conviction was based on a violent crime or involving weapons, you're probably not going to win the battle. Either way, get it approved by your PO just to be safe. If your PO gives you any flak, consult a F.L.A.P. attorney. Good luck and happy hunting!
NO!!! a convicted felon can not legally own any gun for any reason in the state of Arizona, unless they have had their rights restored by a judge.
Federal Laws do not address this matter. You will have to check with your local state law to determine if your state has any restriction on it.
You will need a lawyer for a correct, current and legal answer.
or are you just gonna shoot some one and I'm pretty sure no
Not until or unless you have petitioned the US attorney to have you rights restored.
No.
is bow hunting allowed in Maryland for convicted felons
Convicted felon.
If you mean hunting with a firearm, a convicted felon loses the right to possess a firearm. The felon MAY petition the Governor for restoration of rights, but it is not an automatic process.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms ANYWHERE in the United States as per federal law.
In Mississippi, one must not have been convicted of certain crimes, stay out of trouble for 7 years, return to the sentencing court, and request restoration of your firearm rights ...for hunting purposes.
no
If you are not a convicted felon, or have not been convicted of a crime of Domestic Violence, there is no prohibition against owning or possessing a shotgun, or any other firearm.HOWEVER - if you are a convicted felon or a convicted Domestic Abuser, and you are arrested in possession of a firearm, you could face up to 15 years in prison.
No. A convicted felon cannot hold a shotgun in ANY state. If they have gone thru the process for restoration of rights, and the conviction was for a STATE crime, they could. Federal crime- no restoration of rights possible.
