Question

I legally owned hand guns 20 years ago 14 years ago i was convicted of a non gun felony am I still legal?

Answer 1

You can check with a lawyer in your state, however, in nearly all states, no; once you have a felony conviction, and they do not need to be gun related, just a felony,  you are not allowed to own a handgun, period.  

Answer 2

A convicted felon is prohibitted by Federal law from owning or possessing a firearm.

After 14 years, though, depending on your State, you 'may' be able to have your conviction expunged and your gun ownership rights restored.

Without knowing your State, though, no-one can say any more than that.

Answer 3

It depends on the state, but more than likely it is illegal.

Answer 4

Depends on what the felony was.

Non-gun, but was it non-violent?

I'm fairly certain white collar felonies dont require a firearm ban, but dont quote me on that, it could just as easily be illegal.

Also, would definitely depend where you live, where i live, its illegal to own non-hunting weapons.

I actually own a shotgun, and a .338 Winchester Magnum Rifle. That thing is like a sniper rifle!

I take it with me when i go nature hiking in case i'm attacked by an animal, that thing could kill a bull elephant if i got the right shot.

Answer 5

did they give you probation?
