I was not aware of the difference in felonies.If you have not fucked up for five years the state of Washington restores your gun rights.
The state of Ohio allows the return of gun rights after one year of being trouble free.
That is not true. That is only for some state crimes. Anything federal and you lose you gun rights for life, sans a pardon from the president of the United States.
People think that felons can get their gun rights back for any felony that doesn't get them life in prison. That is so not true. There are two types of felonies, state and federal. Only some state felonies can you ever see your gun rights again. NO federal felonies will every qualify for gun rights restoration.
Pretty sad for someone who is found guilty of a federal crime who was innocent and the felony was non-violent, like embezzling money or something to lose gun rights FOR LIFE. But it happens.
Yep, that's why they have county courthouses (in my state parish courthouses) and federal courthouses.
When you hear about someone being investigated by the FBI, they will be charged with a federal crime if they are charged with something. If they are being investigated by a state agency, most likely they will be indicted on a state crime.
For instance, lets take a sex crime. Child molestation is a state crime. Child pornography, assuming the images were downloaded over the internet, is a federal crime because they say that the image crossed state lines in being downloaded.
Selling drugs on the street corner is a state crime, selling drugs using interstate commerce is a federal crime.
The day you get off probation/parole in Louisiana you get your voting rights back. No matter what kind of felony you were convicted of.
