FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: Unless you have your record expunged you may still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). If you have NOT had your record expunged and your rights restored you are liable not only to the penalty prescribed in your state's laws, but also expose yourself to federal prosecution under USC Title 18, for "Felon in Possession of a Firearm." FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Criminal Code, in some cases, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). Currently three is no viable way for a federally convicted felon to have their rights restored.
