Laws regarding felons owning weapons vary by jurisdiction. In some places, felons may be prohibited from owning or possessing any type of weapon, including bows and arrows. It's important to research and understand the laws in your specific area to determine if a felon is allowed to own a bow and arrow.
Yes, in Florida, a felon can hunt with a compound bow as long as their hunting rights have been restored. It is important for felons to check with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to ensure they are legally allowed to hunt.
It is generally illegal to shoot a bow and arrow within the city limits of Memphis, TN due to safety concerns and local ordinances. It is recommended to check with local authorities or relevant departments for specific regulations on archery within the city.
NO, a bow is considered a weapon. Anyone with a felony conviction is not allowed to own or posses any kind of weapon. You have to a foid card to hunt correct and a felony conviction got your foid revoked. Sorry
Yes, convicted Felons can Bow hunt in Oregon, provided the felon has completed their Post Prison Supervision, Probation or Parole and been completely discharged from the court/corrections/supervision system... The only reason they can't bow hunt while on supervision is because it is a condition of PPS/Probation/Parole that they cannot possess ANY weapons... A Bow is not a Firearm, and is not treated as one in Oregon; although in 2008 they did place restrictions on Felons owning Antique firearms (there still remains some clarity issues about muzzle loaders amongst law enforcement however)... See ORS 166.170-735 http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/166.htmlFurthermore there are no laws preventing Felons from obtaining hunting/fishing licenses/tags (General Bow Hunts include Buck/Deer/Elk/Pronghorn/Grey Squirl and Special Bow hunts are available for Bear/Cougar/Bighorn/Mtn Goat)... 2009 Oregon Big Game Regs (pdf) http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/regulations/2009biggameregsweb.pdf
This is a legendary event known as the death of William Folkard, a Scottish archer who was said to have been shot in the back with an arrow by Thomas de Lane in York, England in the 15th century. It is a popular story in local folklore and has been passed down through generations.
No, a felon cannot use any firearm, and technically a bow is a firearm. Firearm definition by ATF is any weapon that propels a deadly object. Kind of dumb since i doubt someone would try to commit a crime with a bow and arrow
maybe
no
Yes. Only firearms possession is limited by being a felon.
Yes you can hunt as a convicted Felon in Connecticut, Here is the answer I got from the CT DEP. A convicted felon can possess archery equipment, therefore he can hunt with a bow and arrow in Connecticut. Proof of a bow hunting certification course must be submitted before an archery permit can be issued. Mark Clavette DEP Wildlife Division
Yes
Its not such a good idea to give a bow and arrow to someone who is mentally ill
Yes.
Yes. Anyone including even convicted felons, are allowed to own a bow in arrow.
A bow is not classified as a firearm in Wyoming, so yes you are able to. Crossbows are a different story as they are classified as a firearm in some states. You would have to check your state laws for that classification, but as long as you do not use a firearm and follow bagging limits and all regulations, yes.
you can but you have to get a bow and arrow and make your own suit
I had just got off the phone with the law enforcement at the D.N.R offices and i was told that a felon can hunt with a Bow and Arrow and X-Bow but no type of gun at all not muzzleloader either
