Yes. I believe only thing a convicted felon can't do is posses firearms.
Yes. A pellet gun and a firearm are two totaly different things. Actually if the felony comitted was not a violent felony , the felon will be able to own a firearm after the sentence/probation is completed IF it was a first offence.
Yes, unless the terms of one's release prohibits association with a convicted felon. In that case, they may marry, but may suffer legal consequences. Oh, they also cannot marry if there are the same sex.
check with the AG section on base....................
NO
No Maine considers a muzzle loader a firearm...
Generally not, you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm.
No. Regardless of Pennsylvania laws, it is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm - it has been ruled that muzzle-loading black powder arms fall under the category and definition of firearms. (USC, Title 18)
Questioner doesn't indicate whether a state-convicted felon or a federal-convicted felon. Federal statute states that black-powder arms ARE considered firearms under the provision of USC, Title 18. (penalty: up to 15 in prison)
This is what I was told by a federal game warden it is not illegal for a felon to hunt with a black powder gun or a standard bow. A crossbow is illegal. A crossbow, shotgun, rifle, or any handgun it is illegal for a felon to possess.
Yes. I believe only thing a convicted felon can't do is posses firearms.
Under US FEDERAL law, they can have a caplock or flintlock. They cannot have a muzzle loader that uses 209 shotshell primers (primers are considered modern ammunition) However, different states have different state laws. You will need to check in YOUR state. A parole officer would be a good place to begin checking, as would the state police.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms ANYWHERE in the United States as per federal law.
No. While Federal law does not consider a true antique, such as a muzzle loader or pre-1899 gun to legally BE a firearm, Georgia STATE law does not make that distinction, and DOES prohibit possession of those by a convicted felon. You should contact the Georgia State Police for addition information.
I, too, am a convicted felon. Although I find it difficult to find any solid facts on the laws regarding muzzle loaders, I do believe a convicted felon can hunt with a muzzle loader in the state of Indiana. I asked the same question while recently incarcerated in the Knox County, Indiana jail, and all thirty-one inmates in my block agreed that it is lawful to do so. ALL other types of firearms, however, are off limits. Another great alternative is high-powered air rifles. They're not just kid's toys anymore!
Question: Have your firearms rights been restored? If not, regardless of what Wyoming law may say, FEDERAL LAW prohibits convicted felons from ever possessing firearms, and this includes black powder arms.
Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.
