Thats interesting you mention that about State Law....this topic came up at work with a friend of mine....I have been told that some state laws allow it after certain amount of time etc, but FEDERAL LAW prohibits any convicted felon from owning or possessing firearms or amunition... So you could still be charged under federal law....idk I actually do not WANT a gun. However I hate the idea that I could possibly be sent to prison if a buddy has one in my truck or whatever.I have thought about hiring a lawyer to sit down with me and go over my options, if there are any.
