The laws of SOME states, may make a distinction between 'violent' and 'non-violent' felon offenders when they are making certain decisions or taking certain actions (i.e.: expungement - pardon - etc) but many opther states (and the federal criminal code) make no such distinction - a "felon" is a "felon."
