No
Never, unless their conviction gets overturned - not expunged, not pardoned, but actually overturned.
He either gets caught, or has a successful sale. Well it all depends on how good he can hide it. If he can't, he's out of luck.
In the US? Five years in Federal prison, no probation, no parole, IF he has access to the firearms.
If their civil rights have been restored and part of that process includes the ability to own a firearm, and they otherwise qualify a convicted felon may obtain a firearm owners identification card. See the related link below.
, I have a friend that is in a federal prison for a drug charge .....he will be getting out in November ...My question is .....he will be on parole and he would like to stay in my home until he gets on his feet.....I am gun collector is this a problem for him and myself ? I also class three lience also......I live in the Tampa bay area...Thank's for your time.
well first of all they get to have a jury trial (amendment7) and they cant have a real cruel or unusual punishment (amendment8)
In general, yes. It gets a little fuzzier if the person who is "registered to carry a gun" is actually carrying one at the time. The firearm would need to be clearly and unambiguously in the licensed person's possession and not the felon's.
I could be wrong about this but I know for a fact that a convicted felon cannot own a gun or be around one unless he gets a pardon from the govenor and I think it's really hard to get so a crossbow is a weapon. They may not claim it as a gun but it is and I know that felons cannot have, own or possess a firearm or weapon. I could be wrong about this but I hope this helps answer your question. You may want to call your local authorities and ask them. L.A.R.S 14:95 prohibits convicted felons from owning, purchasing or possessing "FIREARMS" a firearm is defined in other sections of the but is shown in 14:95 to include "shotguns, rifles, machine guns. pistols, black power guns" or devices that use explosive powder to discharge a projectile / ammunition. A bow / crossbow is not considered a "FIREARM" I am a convicted felon and I hunt with a compound bow sometimes twice a day! Im not sure if a separate classification exist for crossbows , possibly on the federal level. I would check that out before I took off through the woods,, It could be 15 years before you come out the other side!!! Good luck
It depends on what his priors are. Some States have the 3 strikes rule.
In many states, every prison sentence is an "indeterminate sentence", meaning that once the judge assigns the felon to the department of corrections, the parole board gets to make every decision. Typically that doesn't happen unless the inmate has been abusing the system. If you really want to know why, ask the parole board.
Too many factors to give you a simple answer. This depends on whether the felony was for a Federal or State charge. For Federal, sorry, no. For State, depends on the laws in your state. It also depends on what license you want to get. For an acccurate and current answer, you need an attorney licensed to practice in your state, and not Answers.com
That would be at the discretion of his Parole Officer.
