Do federal felony sentencing guidelines allow probation?
It would be more correct to say that they don't address it. C'mon. We're talking federal FELONY here, not about someone shoplifting a Snickers bar. What kind of answer is that. See discussion page:
How is it possible for a convicted felon to not own a gun but the federal government will allow you to have a cdl with hazmat?
Wherever you're getting your information from, drop them. You cannot get a hazmat endorsement with a federal felony on your record. If you were convicted of something which was only a felony under state law, but is not defined as a felony under federal law, then it is possible to apply for relief of disability, which would enable one to get their hazmat endorsement, and also to get their firearms rights back.
If convicted of a felony after completion of time and probation is it legal to hunt with a firearm in Idaho?
In most cases, you have to petition the court in order to restore your firearm rights, they don't just reappear after probation. Whether or not the local court will allow it (normally) depends on state law, the charge, and the circumstances.
Does Michigan allow ex-felons to own a firearm?
First, we need to determine if "ex-felon" is the appropriate term or not. If you've been convicted of a felony, and you have not been exonerated of the felony - that is to say, your conviction hasn't been overturned - there's no 'ex-' about it - you're a felon.So, if you're a felon, Michigan does not allow you to own a firearm, nor could the state allow you to even if it wanted to - it is FEDERAL law which dictates a convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms.
What if a felon was on three years of probation and never serve any time can he be allow to own a gun?

Is it right for a the Federal housing commission to deney you because you have a felony that is a SIS 3 years probation?
This is not a question that is open to opinion. If the laws and regulations allow it, then. . . .'it is what it is.' If you feel that you have legal grounds to contest their ruling, you may seek assistance and/or file suit.
If you have a felony conviction but it was not related to drugs and you have no issue with child support can you obtain a passport?
No. They can obtain a passport when child support is all paid up and they're not behind. Some countries will not allow a convicted felon to obtain a visa to visit. Canada is one country that does not allow convicted felons.
How can a felon get their gun rights back yet still have a felony conviction?
If it's only a state felony, and not a federal felony, there might be a chance. But it's going to require a lawyer, a good bit of money, and an understanding that nothing is guaranteed.If yours is a federal felony (even though charged by the state, anything declared a felony under federal law is going to be a federal felony), your odds are slim to none, bordering more closely to none.Additional: SOME states do allow felons convicted of state offenses to petition for the restoration of firearms possession. It depends on certain factors as to whether or not it may be granted. If granted the restoration of their possession it is valid ONLY WITHIN THAT STATE. They may not carry in another state.As stated above, restoration of firearms possession after being convicted of a federal offense is non-existent. Although the framework for such a procedure exists, the Congress has consistently denied the funding to enable it.

How do you file for federal relief for federal right to possess a gun if convicted on a state felony?
You cannot. Due to the seperation of powers between states and the federal government, federal authorities cannot act to over-ride the state's decision.Besides, federal law (18 USC, para 921 & 922), also specifically states that ANY convicted felon cannot possess a firearm - unless - the laws of your state specifically allow for the granting of an exception (which would supersede federal law in YOUR state only). If your state refuses to grant you this right - that is the end of it.
Can a statejail felon own a shotgun for home protection in Texas?
Generally speaking, no. Being on probation and being a felon are two different things. Once you are a felon, you cannot legally own a firearm. It is sometimes possible for a felon to have his rights restored, but for information on that, you really should contact an attorney familiar with the process.
