Re: man with a felony in trouble for defending himself with
There's not enough info in this article to even begin making a judgement. I won't comment on the circumstances in this, however, a convicted felon in Texas may have a firearm at home for defense beginning five years after serving their full prison term or completion of parole and are no longer under the supervision of TDCJ. A felon may possess a black powder firearm made before 1899 or a replica as they are not considered firearms in Texas. Federal law prohibits a felon from possessing a firearms, but that requires a Federal charge.
