Can you get a pistol permit with a felony conviction on your record?

Answer 1

In the U.S. each state sets its own laws and requirements for obtaining a permit, however, since (generally speaking) a felon cannot own or possess a handgun, I can't imagine that any state will issue a permit to a felon.

Answer 2

It depends. Partly, it depends on what state you're in (if you're in the U.S.) but also, what type of violation? If you mean a traffic violation, normally that won't keep you from getting a gun permit.

Answer 3

No. Regardless of what state you reside in, it is a violation of FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18) that prevents convicted felons from ever owning or possessing firearms or ammunition.

Answer 4

No, unless you've been granted special permission by the police.
