So Kevin, if I understand you correctly (its early and I havent had all my coffee yet) he cannot own a firearm of any type except black powder nor can his wife unless its locked in a safe that he has no access to?

Nor can he ever go hunting again irregardless of state law?

May be but he s now allowed to vote. In the beginning I questioned this but have seen his voters registration card and he has voted at the same time and place that I have. Thus the question about owning a firearm.

What if his wife owns one. Remember, his parole was done with 20 years ago.

Always up early. Usually at work by 6. On vacation now but still can't sleep in.

The way I read the law, he can own. But how can he buy? Federal law says you can't knowingly sell to a felon even as an individual.

He really wants to have sonething for home defense as well as going to the range with me.

I have an employee that was convicted of a felony drug charge 25 years ago (18 yrs old at the time). I know he can never get a CHL but in reading the state gun laws it appears that he can legally own a gun after 5 years from final disposition. Am I reading this correctly?

I donot want to give him bad information and him get in trouble again.
