Upon completing parole or post-release community supervision, all civil rights are restored with the exception of:
No rights are restored automatically, with the exception of the right to vote. Offenders in twelve states are unable to vote if incarcerated, on parole or probation, and potentially forever based on the crime they committed and other variable. Offenders in 18 states may not vote while incarcerated, or on parole or probation. Five state permit felons voting rights after discharge and/or completion of parole. And, two states, Maine and Vermont, have no restirctions whatsoever. For a comprehensive look at voters rights, go to: http://felonvoting.procon.org/viewresource.asp?resourceID=286 Other rights forfeited by felony conviction may only be reobtained by petitioning the court, however, I have never heard of a previously convicted person regaining rights once they are lost.
Your vote will not count unless your rights have been restored. Check with your parole officer. There are specific procedures involved, and if you are not registered, you will not be given a regular ballot. A provisional ballot will not be approved.
In Idaho your gun rights are automatically restored upon completion of sentence. Unless you are convicted of a violent crime listed in state code you don't have to do anything. If you committed a violent crime you can petition the parole commission to restore gun rights 5 years after completing the sentence.
In Minnesota, civil rights are restored when you complete your sentence. Presumably, this includes the prison portion and parole. If you never went to prison, but were on probation and completed that probationary term, you should be allowed to vote. HEre's the statute 2008 Minnesota Statutes 609.165 RESTORATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS; POSSESSION OF FIREARMS. Subdivision 1.Restoration. When a person has been deprived of civil rights by reason of conviction of a crime and is thereafter discharged, such discharge shall restore the person to all civil rights and to full citizenship, with full right to vote and hold office, the same as if such conviction had not taken place, and the order of discharge shall so provide. discharge is defined here: Subd. 2.Discharge. The discharge may be: (1) by order of the court following stay of sentence or stay of execution of sentence; or (2) upon expiration of sentence. So, I would read this to mean that when you are totally off paper, your rights are restored, but that your rights can be restored even while on probation, if so ordered by the court. Here's a good document: http://www.mncn.org/mpp/doc/exfelons.pdf Vote!
If ONLY your voting rights have been restored, you can't buy a handgun. If ALL your rights were restored, or if your gun rights were restored, yes.
Finish your sentence and parole without committing any more crimes. You will get most of your rights restored automatically. You will also get your right to hold, possess and use guns back if your felony wasn't a crime of violence.
Generally speaking, felons cannot legally own a gun, even after completing parole. Most states do have a process for restoring gun ownership rights to felons, but it doesn't just happen automatically; you have to specifically petition a court for it and they might say no.
If employment is a condition of your parole, then it can be required of you.
Yes, in some circumstances you can have some rights restored, but you should check with an attorney.
According to federal law, a person dishonorably discharged from the military cannot own a handgun at all. The exception would be if that person has had his or her rights restored.
