No. The prohibition for felon in possession of a firearm is federal law.
GET A LAWYER before you try this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer I would recommend you check with you local State laws. Years and years ago, I was licensed to carry a firearm in the State of Massachusetts. At that time, they told me the license was to carry the ammo and NOT the gun. But the law may have changed since then.
This is on a state by state basis. I believe in the state of MS if you have a felony charge in the past five years you can not purchase a handgun. I believe it is 2 years for long gun. <><><><> Sorry, have to disagree with above. This is NOT state-by-state, but governed by Federal law, under Title 18, US code. A person that has been convicted of a felony may NOT possess a firearm, whether rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The law does not distinguish between the various crimes that you could be convicted of, other than to define felony. Violation of this is a serious felony in itself, and carries MANDATORY Federal prison time- no probation, no parole. Please consult an attorney in your state.
My understanding is that it depends on whether it is filed as a felony or misdemeanor. The felony can carry up to 3 years in state prison. A misdemeanor up to a year in the county jail.
20 years
It depends if the felony was a fraud issue... but is up to the Sectary of State
50 to life
It depends on what state and whether not it was an illegal possession, distribution, or consumption felony.
3rd degree felony. In the state of Texas it is punishable by up to 1 year in county jail or 5 years state jail....
It will vary on whether it is charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. A felony runs for 5 years. A misdemeanor is set at 2 years. It is tolled if the accused leaves the state.
a felony 3 to 5 years
Murder, or other Class A felony: no limitation. Other felonies: 5 yrs. Misdemeanors: 2 years However: If absent from the state, or whereabours are unknown: an additional 5 years
