If you have been convicted of a felony, served your time and finished parole, when can you vote or own a gun?

If you are a Felon then you can never own a gun, but you can vote.

depends on the court order accompanying the felony conviction.  Some felons can hold fiduciary jobs during the time of their probation, etc. Everyone's different.

I agree with Jason. Once their sentence is over (counting probation), and maybe a fixed time after (1-2 years? just what some states do), ex-felons should be allowed to get their right to vote back.\n\nThe idea is to rehabilitate criminals by giving them a reason to re-integrate into society. Now, repeat offenders, I have less sympathy for. But someone should not lose their rights for life because of a single bad act.

NO YOU FOOL... STOP ASKING!  FELONS DON'T HAVE RIGHTS, THEY COMMITTED FELONIES!!!!  DEAL WITH IT!  YOU FORFEITED YOUR SECOND AMMENDMENT RIGHT!!!!  YOU MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!  But seeing as how you're a felon, you'll probably just go buy a saturday night special and not register it.  Then you'll keep it in your home illegally... BECAUSE YOU'RE A CRIMINAL!

depends on the felony but i belive they can if they have a passport and your not violating your parole and you can have a passport you just have to have a special one

Not if your on hold for a parole violation.  They can keep you until you go back to court and they decide if your going to have your parole revoked and have to go back and serve the remainder of you original sentence.

Ignore that first post.  That person has no idea what they're talking about.\n\nThe bottom line is that it will depend on what the past "record" is all about.  If you've been convicted of a felony, you are federally prohibited from possessing a firearm.\n\nAnything else is negotiable, depending on the agency and the "record" you're talking about.

Yes. The person for whom it is issued can't own a firearm for a certain period among other restrictions.

Of course you can if you are over 21 and follow Pennsylvania law regarding purchasing a handgun,or whatever type you want.\nPFA is protect against abuse,contempt of that order has nothing to do with your purchasing a gun.Unless your a convicted felon,then the PFA doesn't have anything to do with it, but the felony conviction does.

What is a felon going to use a black powder gun for? Felons are not allowed by law to own or carry or use a firearm because, guess what.......They are felons! \n\nIf they have committed at least one crime already and have been convicted, then why are we going to let them have a gun of any kind?

you could be sentenced to a term in jail without parole.  it would have to be part of the sentence handed down when you're convicted.

forget those idiots.  I have a felony and I can't get a job, cant vote, and finding a place to live is almost impossible.  (I have felony for smuggling in tabacco in a penial institution)  they concider tabacco a narcotic. Anyways you can file for an expungement.  Which means you can clean ur record after 3 or five years after you serve ur time, whether it is corrections or probation.

If you are not on probation or some other type of restriction of your movements, there is no visitation law.\nYou simply pack your things and move to another state.  Once you start work in that state, register to vote and file taxes in that state you are usually considered a resident. Note: military service is an exception.

they can vote unless they have been convicted of a felony, and then they have no rights until they go through the process of having their civil rights restored which can take years to do sometimes.  However, if they are in jail or prison they would not be able to physically go out and cast a ballot

Convicted felons and people with active DVOs cannot have guns.  I don't think it would be your fault if you gave one to them though if you did not know.

18 year old or older citizens of the country can usually vote. Some states disenfranchise felons, but not many disenfranchise them after they have served their sentence and/or probation. The site below has more info on felon disenfranchisement in the different states.
