re: Convicted Felon
A convicted felon who has not had his rights restored may not be in control of any firearm. Depending on the particulars of his crime, he may petition for the restoration of his rights. I have a brother-in-law who is a convicted felon who had the chutzpah to ask if he could borrow my shotgun to go hunting. I asked if he had had his rights restored, to which he replied yes. I asked to see his paperwork, and he said they didn't give him any. I told him, I am a cop, I know that you get papers to show your rights have been restored. No Tickee, No Laundlee.
A man without a gun is a subject; a man with a gun is a citizen.
