NO. If you were convicted of a State felony, And you have had your civil rights restored including firearm rights, then the BATF will also recognize those rights. Here is what Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms says about this issue. You can find it on BATF Form 4473 Question 12.C Notice 6, Exception 1. A person who has been convicted of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned the person for more than one year, or who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, is NOT prohibited from purchasing, receiving, or possessing a firearm if: (1) under the law where the conviction occurred, the person has been pardoned, the conviction has been expunged or set aside, or the person has had civil rights (the right to vote, sit on a jury, and hold public office) restored AND (2) the person is not prohibited by the law where the conviction occurred from receiving or possessing firearms. Persons subject to this exception should answer "no" to 12 C. or 12i, as applicable. A person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence also is NOT covered by the Prohibition unless: (1) the person was represented by a lawyer or gave up the right to a lawyer: and (2) if the person was entitled to a jury, was tried by a jury, or gave up the right to a jury trial. Persons subject to this section should answer "no" to 12i. So as you can see, if the state and court of conviction has restored your right to own a firearm, then your rights as far as the Federal Government is concerned have been restored. There is a exception to this... If the state you live in makes a distinction between restoring your right to rifle's but not handguns, then only your right to a rifle or shotgun has been restored and it will still be illegal to possess a handgun.

It sounds like you are well on your way to being a repeat offender.

No. He is a "Fugitive." If he is on probation it means he has been sentenced for an offense. If he absconds it means the same thing as if he had escaped from jail prior to his sentence being completed. There is no statute of limitations on being a fugitive from justice. SO DOES THAT MEAN THERE IS A WARRENT FOR HER ARREST?

You were issued 18 months probation in Florida but only completed 2 months what happens if this occured 3 years ago And the probation was up last year?
You were found GUILTY and sentenced to a probation in lieu of going to jail. Probation IS a sentence. It makes no difference when the probation period WOULD have ended - you only served 2 months of an 18 month sentence before you skipped. You still have 16 months of your sentence left to finish! Whether you know it or not you are probably wanted on a warrant. My advice would be to contact the authorities ASAP, because, sooner or later, it's going to catch up with you, and just like "Murphy's Law," probably when you least suspect it and at the worst possible time.
