The most basic answer is no. A felon cannot get a gun permit. However, under some circumstances, a felon can have his or her rights restored.

Can a person with a valid gun permit who is charged with a felony not convicted still carry a concealed weapon with his permit since it has not been revoked?

No. A person under indictment for a felony may neither carry nor purchase, possess, or have access to firearms - it's treated the same as a convicted felon until they are exhonorated.


If convicted of 4th degree felony in Ohio can you still get a concealed carry permit?

It doesn't matter. Even if the state has a liberal enough "shall issue" legislation that a convicted felon can obtain a CCW, as a convicted felon you may not purchases, possess, or have access to firearms under federal law. Ipso facto, you could potentially have a concealed carry permit, but you would not be permitted to have a gun.


Is your concealed weapons permit valid if you were convicted of a DUI in Texas?

It depends, but the basic answer is, the permit is valid unless it has been revoked by the state that issued it. In some states such as Tennessee, you can still keep a permit if you have a DUI, as long as it wasn't a felony DUI.


Can a convicted felon in Georgia get a concealed carry permit after rights are restored?

If you're expecting to get gun rights back after a felony conviction, don't hold your breath. In some shall-issue states, it is possible for a convicted felon to get a concealed carry permit. However, it's still a felony for them to own, possess, or be in a situation where they have access to firearms, and the CCW doesn't negate that.

If you were not convicted, then you can still purchase a gun. Even if you had been convicted of a misdemeanor, you could still purchase a gun, but not for a felony.
