Can a convicted felon bow hunt in Texas?

It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to own or POSSESS firearms anywhere, under ANY circumstances. (USC, Title 18) Being "around" or hunting "with" persons carrying firearms puts him in "constructive" possession of a firearm. Ask yourself, 'Would a "reasonable" person believe that someone went out in the field hunting with others even though he had no weapon?' I doubt it. I wouldn't risk it.

Can you move out at 17 in Connecticut?

This is a summary of laws dealing with the age to be considered an adult in your state. It is not intended to be all inclusive, but does contain basic and other information. You may check for updates using the state code or bills. If you are a minor and need to your minority removed, search for the word minority under your state. Forms with US- at the beginning of the control number are sample forms for all states.

Does a speeding ticket violate your probation?

Word beginning with the letter h?

Officially, yes. Most teachers/professors will accept it either way. ANSWER In American English, it depends on whether or not the "h" is sounded. In "hour," it is not sounded; therefore, we say, "an hour." In "hostage," it is sounded; therefore, we say, "a hostage." [Some U.S.A. dialects use "a" in some words even when the "h" is not sounded. In the South, for example, one hears, "I'll be back in a (h)our."] That view rests on the general rule that if a word begins with a vowel we use "an," if it begins with a consonant, we use "a." Some h-words have alternate pronunciations, with the h and without. For example, the word "homage" is homage or omage -- or, in modern film lingo "ohMAGE." In America, we would say, "a homage"; "an omage"; "an ohMAGE." [spelvin]

Get out of jury duty?

If you receive a summons to appear for jury duty then you must appear,There are exemptions that can get you excused from jury duty such as health or medical reasons,financial hardships and other circumstances...

If you wish to be removed from all future summons of jury duty then simply go to the court clerk and be taken off the list,most states allow citizens to opt out of future jury duty... Correction to my original post has been made because information was found to be too conflicting to determine properly.

Added: Jury duty is a civic responsibility, and regardless of your 'desire' to be excused from it, every case of "hardship" stands on its own merits and must be evaluated and ruled on individually.

ADDED: All you have to do to get out of jury duty is to go to the DMV, get a new driver's license with a new address on it (outside of the court's jurisdiction) and take it to the clerk of courts and tell them you are in the process of moving to that address and to send all future correspondence to that new address. Either they will be forced to pay you travel time from that new address to the court each day or they will take you off the list. It's obvious that they'll take you off the list. They don't have the funds to check up on you to see if you actually moved and if they did you can always say your plans fell through and you decided not to move. It worked for me and you can always get your license changed back again.

Why should you have to work jury duty for slave labor wages while the fat cat judges, union police, lawyers, DA's, etc. get fat salaries and pensions off of your hard-earned tax dollars? The system is broken and one-sided. Why be a sucker?

Where can a convicted felon find an apartment in Phoenix Arizona?

A convicted felon can find an apartment in Albuquerque New Mexico by doing an internet search for " Apartments in Albuquerque NM that allow felons " It will pull up the yellow pages and although it isn't 100% accurate, it is a start. It's too bad there are so many closed minded people in positions where they are able to make re-entry to society harder than it already is. good luck...

How many people on parole in US?

If the 2010 report has been released I didnt find it; these figures are for 2009, reporting being turned in at the end of 2008: 828,169 people on parole from prison/jail.

This does not include the number of convicted criminals on probation, never having served any time behind bars (probationers are sentenced and the sentence suspended with probation terms, assigned a probation officer; if probation is violated, they will then go to prison/jail to serve out the remainder of their sentences). Following are the complete stats:

  • Nearly 5.1 million adults were under community supervision at yearend 2008.the equivalent of about 1 in every 45 adults in the United States.
  • Probationers (4,270,917) represented the majority (84%) of the community supervision population in 2008; parolees (828,169) accounted for a smaller share (16%).
  • The probation (0.9%) and parole (0.9%) populations grew at the same rate during 2008. The probation population increased by 36,446 probationers while the parole population increased by 6,992 parolees during the year.

Can a convicted felon serve on a board in the state of New York?

convicted felons have essentially the same rights as those who have no conviction record with the exception to voting in some states, and possession of "firearms." The one right that is never discussed to which former felons have no right is protection from discrimination. So, while there is no specific law prohibiting a felon from serving on a board (provided that board is not over a healthcare facility or a school), the organization, business, minicipality, state or federal government can prohibit any felon from serving for no other purpose than that person was previously convicted. While felons have essentially the same rights as other citizens, they do not have the same protections.
