Convicted Felon who wants to legally obtain funs.

Pretty fucked. Your only options are black powder guns and air guns

>>31828065
>I live in Chicago
You're automatically disqualified, felony or otherwise. Sorry man. You'll have to stick with machetes.

>>31828065
I doubt living in chiraq will make the process any easier, but from what I understand, you'll have to submit a formal request to a judge to get your right to own funs back. Definitely consult a lawyer m8.

You would think that serving time would be punishment enough, right?

>>31828065
You have a 1/1000000 of getting your rights back.

Expect a years long fight with bureaucracy, costing thousands of dollars.

>>31828065
get a lawyer and spend the next 20 years feeling like you are being fucked by the system(because you are). Look up your state laws and start buying antiques(guns made during or before 1898) and air rifles(it depends on the state if you can own them.

The problem is it's not for so many people
Look at all the nogs who rape some girl, serve time, get out, do it again within a day

Just curious, what did you do to cop a felony?

>>31828125

im not op but we really need some reforms in our laws. We also need to limit the power of the government(a day doesnt go buy where a new law isnt created).

>>31828206
agreed

>>31828131
it's really not that rare. if you aren't a career fuck up i read about people getting gun rights restored all the time if its just the one incident.

>>31828180
>Look at all the nogs who rape some girl, serve time, get out, do it again within a day
well that goes in hand with getting rid of mandatory sentences(so punishment fits the crime) and as a society we need to restore our standards while expanding community outreach with activities and events.

>>31828065
Wow. It's almost like the life choices you make tend to stick with you. Who'd of thought?

>>31828065
You need a governor or POTUS to pardon you. Have fun with that. Aside from that black powder cap and ball revolvers.

I'm not saying that they don't. But at some point, you made a bad choice. Now you have to live with it.

>>31828299
People convicted of felons can't even be in the same house as someone who owns firearms as per BATFE definitions. There's no secret squirrel loophole around it.

>>31828198
>>31828237
To OP. That's not easy to answer. Probably no in Chicago. People in government positions there are anti-gun and will tell you the cops are the fast enough and that nobody needs a gun.

To the other guy, no it's absolutely not impossible. I'm just in the state of mind that in Chicago it's gotta be 100x harder than getting it done in the rest of the country.

>>31828329
The Director of the Illinois State Police or a local court shall restore a felon’s firearm civil rights in Illinois, under the Firearms Owner’s Identification Act under the following conditions, per the FOID Act:

the applicant has not been convicted of a forcible felony under the laws of this State or any other jurisdiction within 20 years of the applicant’s application for a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card, or at least 20 years have passed since the end of any period of imprisonment imposed in relation to that conviction;
the applicant’s criminal history and his reputation are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety;
granting relief would not be contrary to the public interest; and
granting relief would not be contrary to federal law.

…The Director shall grant the relief if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the person will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that granting relief would not be contrary to the public interest.

>>31828316

Federal law overrides any state law. He'll be denied after completing a 4473.

Just get a friend to buy you one

>>31828434
as Trump would say WRONG!

You should have lawyered up nigger. Now you're fucked.

Lawyer up tomorrow and figure out what's what
>>31828478
I'm not a lawyer at all but I'm pretty sure if you write some letters, you could make a decent case.


Otherwise stock up on some pirate gear and get yourself a flintlock

What's the point of serving in jail if you're not a full citizen when you go out.


YOU HAVE TO GO BACK

>>31828065
well you could always get a black powder revolver as its an antique firearm so you don't need an ffl.

But you should definitely not under any circumstances buy a conversion kit which would also ship straight to your door. That would be bad. So don't do that.

Do you have a dog, OP?

Expungement is a complex and potentially perilous (if you cheap out and get a crap lawyer) maneuver.

If, by some stroke of luck, you were convicted in a more liberty and gun-friendly state, you can leave Chicago/IL out of the picture and possibly have a better chance.

Generally anti-gun states are also profoundly anti-freedom and make things like expungements difficult and expensive.

In NJ you can kiss any kind of weapon possession goodbye completely. No one - frequently not even the cops - can own or possess tasers, slingshots, and coming soon, the dreaded laser pointers.

BB Guns, many softair, and until not so long ago, even paintball guns are all considered firearms.

Step 1 - GTFO of Illinois as soon as you have an expungement outcome, for good or for bad.

>>31828065
You're fucked, faggot.

>>31828065
you shouldnt have been a degenerate OP, better luck in your next life. or leave the country faggot, no one wants you here anymore

On the plus side, this gives you a reason to get into muskets, archery, crossbows, and melee weapons.

>non-violent felony

Not from the USA but what fucking business do they have taking your right to guns away in that case? I'm not about to pry into your personal business, but non-violent is non-violent and it doesn't make sense that it should prevent you from buying a gun.

>>31828155
while those are technically not controlled weapons the law will probably dick you around hard (before ultimately failing) if they find you with them.

>>31829357
if you are convicted of a any wrongdoing that can carry a sentence of a year or more you are federally banned from firearms.

>>31829357
Just because something is non-violent doesn't mean it isn't bad. Stealing is nonviolent if you are just taking it without any confrontation. Also, fuck OP. He wrecked his life when it comes to guns, fuck him and fuck the faggots who can't fucking behave.

>>31828356
>20 years of the applicant’s application
holy shit
my condolences OP. see you when you're 37. if you got charged as an adult you must have done something pretty bad

>>31828065
Have your wife or boyfriend buy em if you're living in the same house.

Felons CAN petition for the restoration of rights but no gurantees

I live North of the border, but here one can apply for a "Pardon" after a certain amount of time has lapsed since conviction, provided no more fuck-ups. What this does is effectively seals your record from everyone.

You live in Chicago, you'd be fucked even if you didn't commit crimes.

If protecting your own life matters to you, then move to Vermont

>>31828065
I hope you never get back your rights

>>31829398
You should kys

>>31828065
>non-violent felony
Was it punishable by a year or more in prison? If not then you can still buy guns.

>>31828185

Thanks for adding that intelligent comment to the conversation, good thing you are here to shit post.

Being a "felon" should not even be a thing it's very existence violates the foundation of this country.

>>31831196
Blame Jim Crow laws

>>31831213
I do they are the same reason we still have pistol permits in NC.

>>31831116
My brother is a felon due to classic "he broke up with his girlfriend and she cried wolf(pronounced rape) to the high school resource officer" story we've heard time and time again.

>living in Chicago
>once a felon

Sorry man, the cards are stacked against you. No lawyer wants to deal with the fallout of successfully obtaining firearms for a felon, because it will open up a billion other cases as well.

>>31830716
I'm from Chicago op, I completely understand. People only think Chicago is cold but in reality it's summers are just as bad

>>31831542
So go eat a hot dog. You no gun zone pussy.

>>31828065
1) The state has to have some method to give you your rights back.
Illinois requires that you request an FOID get declined, then appeal.
In other states (Louisiana for example) you get your gun rights back after 10 years unless its one of the "Enumerated Offenses" which are specifically banned from owning guns.

2) If the state where your conviction occurred has given your your gun rights back, you are no longer a "Prohibited Person" according to the Feds and can own guns.

3) UNLESS the state where your conviction occurred forbids you from having a CCL. In that case the Feds interpret a court case from 1998 (Caron v United States) that if your state doesnt let you have a CCL, then you are still a prohibited person, even if the state otherwise specifically returns your firearms rights to you.

So you have the odd situation of Louisiana (which is why I brought it up) where the state can specifically say you have your gun rights:
La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:95.1(C)
> The provisions of this Section prohibiting the possession of firearms and carrying concealed weapons by persons who have been convicted of certain felonies shall not apply to any person who has not been convicted of any felony for a period of ten years from the date of completion of sentence, probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.

But then because of this, seemingly contradictory, law:
La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 40:1379.3(C)(10)
>To qualify for a concealed handgun permit, a citizen shall:
> Not have been convicted of, have entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or not be charged under indictment or a bill of information for any crime of violence or any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of one year or greater.

And the way the Federal Government interpret Caron V United States, you can't have a gun according to them.

>>31828316
You ever done something dumb when you were 17?

Lots of things are felonies that you don't even know about.

If you are an average American, you commit 3 felonies per day.
