Generally you need to have the felony conviction set aside, expunged or a gubernatorial or presidential pardon for that right to be restored.  Every state is different though there are federal laws that bar violent felons and persons convicted of domestic violence (even if a misdemeanor) from owning firearms.\n\nThe bar on ownnership of firearms applies to all firearms.  Many states also restrict the ownership or posession of other weapons such as knives, crossbows or bows and arrows as well.\n\nThat piece of paper you signed was an acknowledgement of the notification that you may not own firearms.  The law is what bars you, not the piece of paper.\n\nConsult an attorney for legal advice in your state's laws.

As long as you are not a FELON and you HAVE on YOUR person a valid weapons(gun) carry permit, AND you are of legal age to OWN and POSSES a firearm, there is nothing they can do about it;however,our LIBERAL MEDIA and their followers have done such a wonderful job scareing the heck out of the public at large that (people) will probably be some what alarmed by the presence of it if they notice it and you don't "LOOK" like someone who "should" be carrying a gun on your hip.Hereto there are so many places now that are posted "NO WEAPONS" that you would be taking it off and putting it on so frequently,why bother?In which case you might as well get a permit to carry a concealed weapon and then as your hopefully common-sense driven discretion allows you could "playfully" expose it to get the thrill of talking to the POLICE and being the center of attention that you're so desperately seeking as to be willing to have some trigger-happy cop take a shot at youbecause when he asked you to take it out and give it to (HIM) you did actually remove it from the holster instead of leaving it in the holster and handing over the whole thing so he could take it and check the national registry to see if it was stolen and to verify your credentials.DON'T THINK THAT I AM KIDDING AROUND HERE...They take people and train them regardless of personality to be pit bulls, suspiciuos of every one.In my town they kill people frequently and get away wth it,either with guns or tasers or their squad cars or their K-9,Oh yea babe! BAM! IF you really are such a thrill seeker or you just don't value your life at least get some life insurance so your poor family can give you a decent burial...

No, it would just be like prohibition. Everyone who wanted them would own guns, anyway. I work with a bunch of gun-lovers (cops) and they would never relinquish their guns, even if it meant breaking the law. Of course, this will never happen, anyway.

Depends on where you are. \n\nSo far, most areas have not gone to that totalitarian extreme, at least not yet. \n\n\nBest idea is not to register it at all. Depends on the law in your area.\n\n If you are talking about a permit to carry concealed that is issued by a local law enforcement agency and is usually specific to the weapon.

You have to sell "X" amount of guns in a given time (I don't remember the amount offhand) provided by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) in order to keep your license legitamite. Also you may want to look at the NRA website for more info...hope this helps

Wait...you signed a contract KNOWING you weren't going to abide by it?\n\nAnd... the answer is YES.  They, the property management, CAN place restrictions in the lease.  Depending upon how the lease reads EXACTLY the key to this restriction is the word "loaded".  Meaning you can keep an unloaded gun with a clip or speed loader nearby - It will be hard to prove either way.

I means the owner of a handgun does not have to have an FFl to sell his personal collection. He still can't sell to a minor or known felon. This practice is still in force here in Ohio. I am a collector and buy privates sales occasionally. the risk is if it turns out to be a stolen guns you can't get your kinkies back....

What exactly do you mean? There's no such thing as a pistol permit in Florida. We're free to own guns here without asking permission first.\n\nThere is, however, a permit to carry a concealed weapon - but New York does not honor it. Get yourself a New York gun permit as soon as possible, and make sure you jump through whatever hoops Suffolk County and New York state requires.

I carry a 1911A1 .45... Legally. I don't know if I'm more polite though. It's kind of like spiderman... I'm held to a higher level of law for having the permit to carry a gun, thus I have more of an obligation to respect the law that offers that permit to me.\n\nWhen people ask for my ID I offer it to them. When they see it is a CWP... Often they freak out... They should be more freaked out about those who carry without a permit.\n\n While in line for breakfast one morning at McDonalds, a 17 year-old boy in front of me pulled a gun from his pocket and demanded all the cash. I inturn put mine to his head and simply said "Apoligize". He put the gun down and the police held me for 4 hours until they got all the facts. I'll never know if I did the correct thing, McDonalds thanked me. and the kid was crying and pee'd his pants right where he stood.\n\n I still have nightmares about it. I carry for personal reasons and PRAY I never need to pull it out.\n\n If I was mugged... I'd freely give up my money and coat and not pull it. If my life, or anothers was as risk... Who could ever say what they would honestly do. I'd never judge someone either way too.\n\nSome of you may feel guns are evil. Or only evil people own guns. However you may feel that is your feelings. I have no right to bash you about them. I only wish you respect those who do have them LEGALLY and took the time to get the permit. Because there are so many who don't.\n\nDon't fear the gun... It won't do a thing unless there is a finger...\nI know though that I was the most scared at McDonalds that day. Not the kid who peed his pants....\n\nJust my 2 cents.\n\n\nNow... What was the question?

As a prior resident of Oneonta, New York, it was forbidden to have air guns, cap guns, or any guns excluding the use of police weaponry.\nMy brother was ticketed while shooting an annoying squirrl (which he missed), but he happened to do it as a police officer drove by.\nSo to answer your questiomn, it is illegal by the State of New York to hold any harmful weapon of any kind in ones pocession.\nSo if you have one, don't tell anybody. Or throw it away. \nYou can et a big ticket like my brother Jeffery the 2nd.\n\nGood Night!

Generally once you have a felony conviction you are prohibited from owning modern firearms. You can apeal to the BATF to have your right to own a gun reinstated.

Buna Ziua Andrei!   Love your country!  I am former gunstore owner and at present am safety instructor.  Most states in the USA have some requirement to take familiarization and/or safety course before receiving license to be able to purchase a gun... although there are some more remote states where this is less necessary.  As was posted earlier, the US has written Constitution with Amendments which guarantee the Rights of any citizen to protect themselves from those who wish to do them harm.  I presently work in a city called Lexington, Massachusetts and here there is a great history from when the American revolution started when citizens took their guns and beat down the overbearing British monarchy... hence the legacy of guns in the hands of freedom-loving-people was born here.   The US has a culture of people who truly believe that freedom lies within the peoples' ability to guarantee that the government will never be more powerful than it's citizens.  It may be mostly symbolic, but the guns make it a real part of US custom.  Hope this helps!
