If a federal crime was committed then a federal court will prosecute and determine the sentencing.  For example.  You have no criminal record.  In fact you have a concealed carry permit to legally carry a gun.  You carry the gun into a federal courthouse.  You have just committed a felony under federal law and you will be arrested and go to jail.\n\nAnother circumstance is a person has no record, but they get involved in transporting drugs.  They are still criminals, they just haven't been caught yet.  If they are in possession of a firearm while in the commission of a drug crime there are minimum sentencing laws.  Many times they will toss out some charges to get a plea deal for the big charges.

No, no, no that is all wrong.  Convicted felons can vote and can hang with other convicted felons (just not while they are on probation or parol).  You are right a convicted felon cannot own a gun (big deal).  Other than that, its life pretty much as usual.

The problem with getting gun rights restored lies not with the states, but with the Federal Government.  For that, you can thank Bill Clinton's Crime Control Act. You remember that one. It's the law that put 100,00 new cops on the street and ended violent crime.\nFirearm possession for felons is prohibited at the Federal level.  That means firearms possession by a felon violates Federal law, even if state law permits it. And yes, they will prosecute.\nOver ten years ago, a program was approved within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireams that allowed a felon to petition to get his gun rights back.  However, Congress never actually funded the program and has no plans to do so, so it really doesn't exist.\nThis left petitioning in Federal Court as the only possible option to regain your gun rights. Sometime around 2002 (as I recall), the Supreme Court refused to rule on that one.  I believe that door has been effectively closed.\nI am an ex-felon, and that is only one of the many ways we are pretty much totally screwed.

I don't believe if you have a felony conviction that you can own any firearms regardless of the state.  However, I do think that you can petition to have your rights returned to you as your felony conviction is so old.  After doing some research however, I have not found anything that says that the right to own a firearm is one of the rights you can have restored.  Check with your local law enforcement.

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.

Failure to Register which is a 5 year prison term. Also, he will be charged with violating probation, which can carry his original sentence. He is definitely looking at prison time and probation when he gets out of prison. He will also have the GPS on when he gets out.

In order to gain back your civil rights, you might be able to vacate your felony depending on the type of conviction.   Once the court vacates the record of conviction, you may state that you have never been convicted of that crime, even though the court file remains in existence. \n\nUnfortunately for your situation, the vacating or sealing of a court record does not necessarily change or delete the records maintained by law enforcement agencies, the Department of Licensing or other government agencies handling gun ownership. \n\nThus, it would require an attorney's assistance on how a vacated felony would apply to your situation.  Speak with your local bar association and they will be able to give you an attorney's referral.

Not sure where you are located, but in most jurisdictions, there is a simple form to complete.  But if there is no form, then just type up a statement specifying the date the pfa was cancelled and request the return of the weapon and file it at the court.

Guns need to be sold to responsible people.  I know all about the 2nd Amendment, but there's nothing in it saying you don't have to have a background check.

Felonies don't fall off your record for determining your punishment or determining if you are a suspect in future crimes help around or in your area. However there is a 7 to 10 year limit set down by federal law that you don't have to report them and the employer can't search for when filling out a job application or being considered for employment.

depends on the state you live in (or the country for that matter)\n\nVirginia : http://www.gunowners.org/fs9713.htm\n\nTexas : http://www.io.com/~velte/FAQ.htm\n\nNRA: http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/FederalGunLaws.aspx?ID=59\n\n\nEven if a state or local jurisdiction has laws prohibiting storage, you are protected by this federal law:\n\nNotwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess it to any other place where he may lawfully possess such firearm if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Necessary stops, like gasoline and rest, seem permissible.

Check the standards for your local law enforcement agencies where you intend to apply.  The charge sounds like a reduced charge with plea of guilty.  Law enforcement agencies normally consider your actual conduct during the crime and not the court resolution since they are evaluating you on your character and fitness to be a police officer and carry a firearm.  If the charge was in the  last 7 to 10 years or involved dishonesty or perjury chances are you will not be hired.  A police officer is expected to spend much time testifying under oath, and obviously if they can show you lied under oath in the past, your ability to be a law enforcement officer is impeached.  Sorry but most other public jobs are available providing no felony or misuse of funds.

You can go on line to the state of Texas website and it has all the information you need. You can order a complete packet from them and you will need to find a class. Most gun dealers know where they are at or a gun range usually has classes. You will need to have no criminal history to qualify. The link is below.\nGood Luck!!
