No. As a matter of fact, if you were convicted of a felony, it is against the law for you to ever possess a rifle.
no... According to DEC, a person convicted of a felony in NY, CAN hunt with a long bow or a muzzle loader/black powder rifle. NY does not consider these firearms at the present time. NY State is looking into changing this law in the future.
NO. Nowhere in the US is a convicted felon able to legally possess a firearm.
Under federal law, applicable to all states and territories of the United States, a convicted felon MAY NOT purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms.
Federal law (18 US Code 922) says that a convicted felon- ANY felony- may not possess a firearm. In any state.
You must consult a lawyer.
This is on a state by state basis. I believe in the state of MS if you have a felony charge in the past five years you can not purchase a handgun. I believe it is 2 years for long gun. <><><><> Sorry, have to disagree with above. This is NOT state-by-state, but governed by Federal law, under Title 18, US code. A person that has been convicted of a felony may NOT possess a firearm, whether rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The law does not distinguish between the various crimes that you could be convicted of, other than to define felony. Violation of this is a serious felony in itself, and carries MANDATORY Federal prison time- no probation, no parole. Please consult an attorney in your state.
Whether or not the person can legally own a firearm depends upon what is required by the state in which the person resides. In regards to the felony charge only the conviction of a felony would be applicable unless the person has a prior criminal history of domestic violence or some other pertinent matter.
No. However, if a person is barred by Federal or State law from possessing a gun- such as a person that has been convicted of a felony (serious crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, theft, etc) they may also NOT possess ammunition- and may be prosecuted and jailed if found to possessany ammunition.
No. A convicted felon may not be in the presence of firearms.
