What is the commercial vehicle gun law in MI?
Contrary to popular belief, the issue is actually not addressed in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
However, each state has firearms laws that pertain to all vehicles (commercial or otherwise) that must be adhered to as you travel from state to state. In addition, Federal Law 18 USC 926(a) states (regarding all vehicles, commercial or otherwise) that you can transport a firearm in the your vehicle under certain considerations:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console."
What are the gun laws for a convicted felon?
Under federal law, carry and own are two very different matters. Federal law takes precedent over state law. That being said, a BB gun is only a weapon under federal law if it fires ammunition by means of an explosive release: black powder, black powder substitute, gas (compressed air, CO2, etc.), or other explosive substance. If the BB is spring fired, then the felon may legally own it under federal law.
Indiana Code mirrors federal law very closely. For purposes of definition the state of Indiana sees a firearm as:
IC 35-47-1-5
"Firearm"
Sec. 5. "Firearm" means any weapon:
(1) that is:
(A) capable of expelling; or
(B) designed to expel; or
(2) that may readily be converted to expel; a projectile by means of an explosion.
Any device then that can expel (launch, throw, push out) a projectile (ball, bullet, bolt, solid object) by use of an explosion (a violent expansion of a volume of space by means of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear means) is a firearm in Indiana.
And a handgun is:
IC 35-47-1-6
"Handgun"
Sec. 6. "Handgun" means any firearm:
(1) designed or adapted so as to be aimed and fired from one (1) hand, regardless of barrel length; or
(2) any firearm with:
(A) a barrel less than sixteen (16) inches in length; or
(B) an overall length of less than twenty-six (26) inches.
Any "handgun" in Indiana is a "firearm."
Finally, Indian defines ammunition as:
IC 35-47-1-2.5
"Ammunition"
Sec. 2.5. "Ammunition", for purposes of IC 35-47-11.1, means:
(1) fixed cartridge ammunition;
(2) shotgun shells;
(3) the individual components of fixed cartridge ammunition and shotgun shells;
(4) projectiles for muzzle loading firearms; and
(5) any propellant used in a firearm or in firearm ammunition.
While BB's that are not ever used as components of any fixed cartridge or muzzle loading applications may not be defined as "Ammunition" under Indiana law, CO2 cartridges, or the mechanism for compressing air used in many BB type guns can be.
Additionally:Indiana law is actually fairly liberal as relates to some felony charges, and time limitations are listed. It is possible for those convicted of some felonies in Indiana to petition the state for reestablishment of their right to own or possess a firearm after the passage of time.How do you check on status of a gun permit?

Do you need a gun permit to buy a shotgun in Georgia?
Nope you just need to be eighteen or have an adult by the gun with or for you, the only time you'd need a license is if you are planning on hunting game The answer of 'you only need to be 18 or have an adult buy the gun with/for you' is INCORRECT within the state of PENNSYLVANIA, [IF YOU PURCHASE FROM A RETAILER]. It may be true that an 'adult' may buy the gun for you in the state of PA, HOWEVER, the adult must fill out a PA state firearms 'purchase' form, and it is then called into the PA State Police (right then and there as you wait) to get 'accepted' or 'rejected' to purchase the firearm(s). If for any reason the PA State Police reject's the application to purchase the firearm(s), there is a form one can fill out to 'challenge the rejection'.

Can a convicted felon in Wyoming regain their right to own a gun?
To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been acquited or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: 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), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). CAUTION: FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time federally convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has effectively suspended the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges, by denying funding for the purpose.

What are gun laws on black powder pistols in Washington state?
Black Powder pistols fall under the same category as modern handguns/firearms in Washington State. You must meet the same requirements to purchase and/or be in possession of one the same as if it were a Glock 9mm. A black powder firearm is regulated under Washington State Law and requires all state mandated transfer requirements (page 9 WA State DOL Firearms Dealer Training Manual) and under Washington State Law, if you are prohibited from owning or possessing a modern firearm, you are prohibited from owning a black powder firearm as well. This is a fairly recent change in Washington (within the last couple of years) and over 90% of the states, including California and even Washington, D.C. have no such requirements in order to purchase, own or possess a black powder firearm be it rifle or hand gun. Prior tothis change, you simply needed to provide i.d to prove you were of age (18), lay down the money and walk out the door.
