No. As a convicted felon, you have invariably lost your second amendment rights. However, all felons in the US have the right to vote at least when they are free from probation or parole. At that point, more than 50 million people is a large lobby group. Consider starting something.
A felon may not POSSESS a rifle, shotgun or handgun anywhere in the US- Federal law. They may receive a pardon that has the effect of no longer being a convicted felon, but until then, no. Violation of that is a serious crime in itself- usually 5 years in a Federal prison, no probation, no parole.
If you are not a convicted felon, or have not been convicted of a crime of Domestic Violence, there is no prohibition against owning or possessing a shotgun, or any other firearm.HOWEVER - if you are a convicted felon or a convicted Domestic Abuser, and you are arrested in possession of a firearm, you could face up to 15 years in prison.
If I understand the question correctly - - - you are on probation AND you got caught with a shotgun in your car. If that is the case - your probation will be revoked and you will go to jail, AND be charged with a new offense (possibly federal as well) of felon in possession of a firearm). Congratulations! You are now eligible to spend 15 years in federal prison.
Yes
No. A convicted felon cannot hold a shotgun in ANY state. If they have gone thru the process for restoration of rights, and the conviction was for a STATE crime, they could. Federal crime- no restoration of rights possible.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms ANYWHERE in the United States as per federal law.
If you have a good lawyer and a lot of money and patience, it is possible.
You need to consult with a lawyer familiar with firearms law.
yes and no. you must petition for your rights back and will be judged on a case to case basis. IE someone who is a felon for tax evasion has a much better chance than a felon convicted of murder or armed robbery. just like if you want to vote again.
