Convicted Felons and firearms

[kanekutter05]

If you are not incarcerated, you should have all of your rights restored imo. If you can't be reasonably trusted in public, then you shouldn't be out of prison.

+1. I never really thought about it like that but that is a fantastic way to look at it

The woman in this situation has built a business into a multimillion dollar a year operation

The business wouldn't be a meth lab or car wash would it? If so, is the woman in question Schuyler ("Skyler") from Breaking Bad on AMC?

If your name is Walt, I apologize completely and will never mention it again!

Legal Eagle would be the one to talk to, but I haven't seen him posting since the "big Crash"........
If your lady friend has the disposable cash and is willing to go through all the red tape, tell her to talk to an attorney.

Quite frankly as I said nothing to do with me. Quite frankly I am curious about how people get around this issue. Also believe a few bow hunters in this boat have taken up archery to hunt thinking they are not violating the law when in fact in Colorado they are.

I have to disagree with this. I will use my brother as an example... He's in prison for dealing, GTA, B&E's, and something to do with organized crime. He's on his fourth fellony, and stint in prison. Twice, he had a stolen gun on him (last two times). He's due to be released sometime later this year, or next year... Anyway, they have those laws to keep guns his hands (or to make it harder anyway). I think if it isn't a felony agains someone else, fine, restore their rights. Once you screw something up for someone else directly and on purpose though... You're done.

If she is operating a firearm she is in possession of said firearm.
She is violating federal law.
BATFE regulations are focused on 2 things basically. Intent and Control.
If the party who is a felon is in control of a firearm they are in violation.
If there is intent to allow a "prohibited person" access and or control of a firearm then whoever is with her is hosed.

this, Felon in Possession.

if she has been squeaky clean she can petition to have her rights restored.
my advice is to consult a real attorney

I think what he is saying is that, perhaps the persons in question should stay in prison until such time as they can be trusted.


your brother would be a prime example of someone that could not be trusted and should just stay in until he has been rehabilitated.

If this gal is as successful as you say she is, have her petition for her rights back if this is such a big deal.

"Petitioning" the governor with a hefty campaign contribution may help too. BTW anybody see the news that the Looper is getting a divorce?
