Is a felony, or Misdemeanor ? What degree? How old?rlanicek wrote:A close friend of mine wants to apply for a CHL, but he has an old gun charge on his record. In 1993 he was convicted of carrying a concealed unloaded weapon in Ohio. Would this prevent him from being eligible for a Texas CHL?
A felony will not only bar the felon from having a CHL, it would bar the felon from ever owning any firearm and this is everywhere in US, it is a Federal law.rlanicek wrote:It was a felony and it was 17 years ago.

Best tell your friend to work on purging his record.
It is a firearm. Off limits.mr surveyor wrote:what about a muzzle loader?
Actually that is open to debate as 18 USC 921(a)(3) specifically excludes antique firearms. 18 USC 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms and includes replicas as such. I won't post the actual code as anyone who reads this now knows where to look if they want the details. Texas State law has similar provisions. Now I personally would not recommend depending on this to protect you from a conviction as I am unaware of what case law exists on the subject.Beiruty wrote:It is a firearm.

That being said, I do not know about Bow, Cross Bow and non-lethal weapons
