The short answer is, a felon cannot own a gun in where in the U.S. 5 years? No. The felony does not go away. Sometimes it is expunged, but expunged doesn't normally mean "no longer exists." It simply means it's not available to the public, but it is usually still available to law enforcement.

What is difference of ex-felon and felon?

If you're convicted of a felony, you become a felon. You're a felon while you're serving your sentence, and you remain a felon after you've served your sentence. If you end up being acquitted of a felony crime you'd previously been convicted of, then you can legitimately be called an ex-felon, provided you don't have any other prior felony convictions on your record.

Can a ex felon hunt in northcarolina?

An ex-convict and an ex-felon are not the same thing. An ex-felon is someone who was convicted of a felony, but the conviction was later overturned - thus, they are no longer a felon. An ex-convict is someone who was convicted, sentenced, and has completed their sentence - if they were convicted of a felony, then they remain a felon.Both may hunt in North Carolina. However, an ex-con convicted of a felony charge may not do so with a firearm.
