In the law, being "in possession" does not necessarily mean holding it in your hand or having it on your person. It also means being anywhere near it, or around it, where you could have had ready access to it.

Had felony marijuana conviction over 12 years before can you purchase a hand gun?

There is no time limit on felony firearm possession laws. It's illegal for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm, at any time, for any reason, whether they own it or not. ADDED: FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: You must petition the court to request an expungement of your felony offense. If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do research to learn if this applies to your state of residence), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). CAUTION: FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm in some cases, a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1).

I have a class 4 felony for burgly in AZ can I carry a rifle for hunting?

Not sure about the laws in Arizona (I am in Florida), but, does the term "possession of a firearm by a convicted felon" ring a bell. If you are holding it (even for hunting) you are in possession. So therefore, I would say that that would be a violation of law and would wind you up back in jail on a violation. Not to mention the criminal charges that would be filed against the person who provided you with the gun knowing that you were a felon.


What is the punishment for having a firearm by a convicted felon?
