I believe that if you were convicted of a felony, you are considered to be a felon. Whether or not you spent time in prison does not matter.

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.


What would happen if a felon or ex felon got arrested for a bullet proof vest?

A true ex-felon has had their conviction overturned, is no longer considered a felon, has had the case against them dismissed, and will have any rights they lost upon their conviction returned to them. They could possess body armor.A felon in possession of body armor is in violation of federal law, and would be sent back to prison, just the same as if they were in possession of a firearm, with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years.
