Why is there an ex felon?

What is the difference between a felon and a x felon?
A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society. Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges. I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.

Can an ex felon be in the car with someome who has a concealed gun and license?
First, the term ex-felon is almost always misused. If a person is a felon, they are always a felon, unless the conviction and charges are later overturned and removed. Otherwise, the person is ALWAYS a felon. Second, to answer your question, there is a concept known as constructive intent or constructive possession. A felon cannot have access to or control over a firearm. It is not illegal, techincally, for a felon to be in the vicinity of a person with a gun, unless the felon has intent to control the weapon.
Can a felon live or be in a car with someone who has a gun and permit?
The answer is sort of complicated. Most people will tell you "no" but that actually isn't correct. Most people say that felons can't "be around" guns, and that isn't exactly correct either. Based on statutes and case law, a felon cannot have constructive possession of a gun. What that means, basically, in order for a crime to have been committed, a felon must have access to AND desire to control a weapon. If a felon is in a house that has a gun, but the gun is locked up where the felon cannot conceivably access it, techincally no crime has been committed. Now, you will probably have someone tell you they are a cop and that they will arrest a felon under these circumstances. The answer to that is, a cop can (basically) arrest anyone for any reason, and at the moment of arrest, there's not much you can do. What matters in that case is what a prosecutor can prove or what you can disprove later in court.
What do the letters in cop mean?

Can an ex felon be around a gun?
That depends on whether we're talking about an actual ex-felon here, or if you're using the term for what is actually an ex-convict. An ex-felon would be someone who had been convicted of a felony, but for whom the conviction was later overturned and reverse. They are no longer a felon at that point. For someone who is convicted of a felony, and the judgment does not get overturned, they are a felon - the label does not go away.In the case of an actual ex-felon, who is no longer a felon by a reversal and overturning of their conviction, yes, they may be.In the case of an ex-convict, who still remains a felon, the answer is no. A felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms.
How long till an ex-felon can own a shot gun in Michigan?
It depends, but the basic answer is no. The more complicated answer is, the term "ex-felon" is almost always misused. Once you are a felon, you are ALWAYS a felon, unless the charged are reversed and removed from your record because you are later found to be innocent. Even if the charges have been expunged, you are still a felon. Expunged simply means the charges are no longer visible on your public record. If you went to prison and got released, you are still a felon. Felons can sometimes have their rights restored, but again, they are still a felon.
