Two people agree to rob a store, with guns. They plan and begin the robbery. During the process, the store clerk reaches for his own gun. The first defendant shoots and kills him. Both defendants can now be found guilty of felony murder, because the murder was committed as part of the other felony.
First, what do you mean by "gun rights"? Do you mean the legal, licensed right to own a gun? Second, what did you do to lose the "right"? The easiest thing you can do now is to get hold of the gun permit application and see the particular qualifications you need and you will then see where you may fail it. Then, contact the department in your State that is indicated on the permit form to see what you would have to do to get restored. Based on what they tell you, you will know whether you will need an attorney.
AMERICA OF COURSE! Now seriously, many countries have laws which enable you to have gun if you are certified with a licence. USA is one of those. You can own a gun in most of the U.S. without a license. You do, most of the time, have to have a permit to carry a handgun on your person, however.

IF your conviction was for a State crime, you MAY be able to petition for restoration of gun rights. This WILL require an attorney. Be sure to get this right, since the penalty for being a felon in possession is 5 years in a Federal prison. Process will vary state to state- which is why you need an attorney. If your conviction was for a Federal felony, unless you have received a Presidential pardon, there is no way to remove that bar.
No, the permit system only pertains to handguns. To buy an ordinary Title I rifle or shotgun, you simply go to a gun shop, fill out your Form 4473, have the NICS background check phoned in, and pick up your firearm. Now for pistols, you either need to purchase pistol permits from the Sheriff's Office of your county, or have a North Carolina Concealed Carry Permit.
No. A felony drug conviction is the only felony that bars you from assistance. They are currently working on trying to pass a law where drug felons can take a program to get them. As of now, its NO.
First, you need to find out if your conviction was for something classed as a felony under federal law or only under state law. If it is defined as a felony under federal law, stop right there. You're not getting them back. Now, if it was defined as a felony ONLY under state law and not under federal law, you can apply for relief of disability. There's no guarantee you'll get it, but, if you've got a lawyer handy and some cash to throw at this thing, you can at least try.
I'm assuming you mean if you carry a weapon does it have to be concealed. It depends on where you are. For instance, the state of Tennessee does not issue a "concealed" permit, but a handgun carry permit and there is no specific requirement to conceal the gun by law. However, many states do require the weapon to be concealed. Check handgunlaw.us for more information.
