Right you are. But, it doesn't even have to be a felony to lose your gun rights...misdemeanor domestic assault loses your rights too. I thought I'd heard of another misdemeanor conviction that does it too, but I don't recall what is is right now. Keep in mind that about a month and a half ago I was almost arrested for a felony menacing charge for just standing in my own yard quietly with a root beer, flashlight (not turned on) and closed expandable baton.

Here's another party I arrived late for. Good call Anton.
