Can a convicted felon hunt with a crossbow in Arkansas?

Answer 1

Probably not. But check for state and county laws just in case.

I yes in pa at least I am a felon and my parole officer allowed me to own a bow while i was on parole it is not a firearm so you can have it however i suggest checking local laws for example a flintlock gun is legal for me to have by the feds because it does not use modern ammunition but pa restricts it so it varies state to state

I checked with the sate attorney gen they had no answers. also called the Ohio dept of Natural Resources. it is possible for a convicted felon to hunt deer in Ohio provided only Archery equipment is used no flintlocks/muzzle loaders or any other dangerous ordinance. this will vary state by state .. but ! check with your attorney and court records if the judge might or may have put a disability on archery equipment as well. this will vary case by case depending the nature of the felony charge....

thanks

Answer 2

Yes, by all means. A bow is not a firearm. Now, that being said, if you are under obligation to a probation or parole owning or even having in your possession any type of weapon could be a violation so you better also check with P&P before getting into trouble. If you have completed your obligations then you are fine.

A crossbow may categorize differently and be considered a firearm so check to make sure.

Good luck...been there and the sun will shine for you again.

Answer 3

Yes you can I personally spoke with the Oklahoma department of game and fish it is legal for a felon to hunt with archery equipment in the state of Oklahoma that is defined as a long bow,compound,and a cross bow witch is now legal nation wide without a special permit the only thing to remember is you as a felon are not allowed to enter a sporting goods store that sells fire arms as well as archery equipment meaning it has to be an archery store not both for example bass pro or h&h archery and guns

Answer 4

Yes you can go hunting in Illinois if your a felon. I have a friend that is a convicted felon and he has been hunting with a bow for 2 years now. If you were not allowed to he would not of been issued a hunting license and permits when he went to purchase them. They run your name, address, social security so if there was a problem it would have stopped him. So yes you can hunt in illinois if your a felon with a bow & arrow. You just cant do it with a Gun.
