A deferred adjudication is not a conviction under some state laws. The Federal government will still treat it as a conviction and will bar you from gun ownership. You would have to see if you can get the conviction expunged or the records sealed.

∙ 13y agoThe probation part of it doesn't have anything to do with it. If you have a felony on your record, you cannot legally purchase a gun unless you have successfully petitioned to have your gun rights restored.
In Texas as long as you owned the gun before,your ok just can't buy any more till the probation terms over.

∙ 13y agoThe only answer to your question is MAYBE. You will have to consult with your state's law enforcement to learn for sure. If you were charged with Aggravated Robbery it was more than likely a felony offense - UNLESS - you accepted a plea to a lesser offense (perhaps a misdemeanor). The problem is that even if you successfully completed your probation period, the arrest and charge will NOT disappear from your record. Unless you make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you qualify, you may be letting yourself in for a whole lot of future grief if you don't find out your legal status before you get near a firearm.

Can you legally own a firearm if you have discharged a deferred imposition sentence in the US?
You need an attorney for an answer to this one, not WikiAnswers. It will vary based on deferred imposition, or deferred adjudication. IF you were found guilty of a crime that bars ownership, but sentencing was suspended, that is different from having a finding of guilt/ innocence deferred. Seriously, talk with an attorney. Being wrong on this would be a life changing event.

While on probation for felony deferred adjudication can i sell a firearm in Texas?
No. You are not allowed to have any dealings with firearms period. You can't have one in your home or automobile. You can't have one in your possession. And you certainly can't sell one. Further if you are caught with a firearm while on probation (regular or deferred adjudication) you will go straight to jail. You will remain there for the maximum sentence allowed by your original charge and you will face separate criminal felony charges relating to the firearm. That is all true for new buyers if you are on a deferred felony charge you may not purchase a new gun you may how ever keep the ones you already own. I am on a deferred felony and was asked if I had any weapons I answered them and was told I was not allowed to purchase any new guns or carry them with me until after my probation was up. Regular felony you must turn in your protective devices until you have them reinstated to you by the court. <><><> Minor modification- you may not POSSESS a firearm, but you CAN sell it. You will need the help of a person not prohibited from possessing a firearm. For example, THEY could take it to a gun shop for you, and they could buy the gun from you. But you cannot touch it or have access to it.
