No, Taser International conducts background checks and does not allow to have it's products sold to felons in any state.
The short answer is, if you are a felon, you can't own a gun. It doesn't matter whether you pled guilty or were found guilty. Felony on your record = no guns.
It depends on if it was a felony or misdemeanor charge and what your state laws are with misdemanor charge. If it was a felony you can not own a gun. But some states make exceptions with misdemeanor charges. THE ANSWER ABOVE IS NOT TRUE. ANYONE CONVICTED OF A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CRIME REGARDLESS IF IT WAS A MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY IS PROHIBITED FROM PURCHASING, OWNING, OR HAVING ACCESS TO(THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T EVEN HAVE THEM IN THE HOUSE OR YOU GO TO JAIL!) GUNS OR AMMO. YES EVEN AMMO. IF THEY FIND JUST ONE .22 UNDER THE SOFA CUSHION FROM 10 YEARS AGO YOU WILL DO TIME. IT'S CALLED THE LAUTENBERG AMMENDMENT TO THE BRADY BILL. MANY POLICE AND MILITARY LOST THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF THIS LAW BECAUSE IT WAS RETROACTIVE(WHICH IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL-EX POST FACTO).

Yes. I believe only thing a convicted felon can't do is posses firearms.
Under Federal Law, anyone who has been convicted, or pleaded guilty to any offense punishable by imprisonment for one year or more cannot posses a firearm.See 18 USC 922(g)(1)However, several cases in federal appellate courts have held that if the firearm has value as a military weapon, non-felons can possess them, according to the Second Amendment.It's a gray area, to say the least.Not knowing whether CO has a similar statute on it's books, I can only speak to the Federal implications.It may very well be that you'd be in violation of state law as well.
In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
No. Felons and firearms dont mix
It is my understanding, that any person ever convicted of a felony, cannot legally own a firearm in the United States. Updated: it depends on the type of crime, length of time since you completed your sentence (not got paroled) and the type of firearm you want. You must first get your record expunged, which they won't do violent or domestic crimes, and then you can posses most hunting weapons but still not handguns. In order to own a handgun you must receive a pardon from the governor of the state you were convicted in.
NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) checking agencies most often block the transfer of a Firearm or a permit to a person whose records indicate a felony indictment or conviction, a fugitive warrant, unlawful drug use or addiction, a mental defective adjudication or an involuntary commitment to a mental institution, illegal or non-immigrant alien status, a domestic violence restraining order, or a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. These and other prohibitors are stated in the Gun Control Act (GCA), 18 U.S.C. 922. A NICS denial may also be based on a State law prohibition. Federal law prohibits a person convicted of a felony from possessing a firearm. Federal law prohibits a felon from purchasing a firearm. Kansas law prohibits an individual that is convicted of a personal felony from possessing a firearm. Kansas law prohibits an individual that is convicted of a non-personal felony from possessing a firearm for ten years after the conviction. answer-------------------- 18 usc (a)20(a) states that you can own a firearm with a felony. Felons convicted only of felony "offenses pertaining to antitrust violations, unfair trade practices, restraints of trade or other similar offenses relating to the regulation of business practices" may lawfully possess a handgun under both state and federal law even without restoration of their rights. They may obtain a handgun carry permit, if otherwise qualified.18 U.S.C. 921(a)(20)(A). SO YES IT MATTERS WHAT YOUR FELONY IS!!!!!!
yes if you haven't ben convicted of a felony. You can purchase on-line or face 2 face in Idaho
* Is at least 21 and a U.S. resident. * Does not suffer from a physical or mental infirmity which prevents the safe handling of a firearm. * Is not a convicted felon. * Has not within a three-year period preceding submission of the application been convicted of a crime of violence or committed for drug abuse or been convicted of a minor drug offense. * Has not been adjudicated guilty even with a suspended sentence for a felony or misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, unless three years has elapsed since probation or the record is sealed or expunged. * Is not a chronic or habitual drunkard. * Is not currently under any injunction restraining the applicant from acts of domestic violence or repeated acts of violence. * States that he desires a legal means to carry a concealed weapon or firearm for lawful self-defense. -http:/crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbystate/p/gunlaws_fl.htmFrom what it looks like, unless you're in a duty position which requires you to posses a handgun, you can not legally own a pistol under your name until you are 21. But from what I can tell, it is legal for you to posses a handgun, as long as the weapon isn't loaded or has easy access to ammunition. (Probably referring to the "3 steps" rule.) The 3 steps rule is basically a law where there has to be 3 steps into loading a firearm. If you had a weapon at your house, there would have to be minimum of 3 steps in order to load that weapon. So for example, opening the closet, then opening a case containing ammunition, then opening the box of ammunition could be considered 3 steps. I don't know if the same law applies to Florida however.
A felon may not possess, purchase, or have access to firearms, period. End of story. That is a federal law, and applicable to all states. It doesn't matter if you now reside in a different state than where you were convicted.
no,because pet are not the same to human that can think posses criminal acts.Additional Info: Acts against animals are not prosecuted under the same statutes as crimes against persons. The wanton killing of animals falls under another entirely different criminal code (in many jurisdictions enforced by officers of the ASPCA), and would be prosecuted as an offense seperate from the domestic violence charge.
