Answer 1: In many states, even persons who haven'tbeen convicted of federal felonies -- or anything else, for that matter -- can't use stun guns; and that's because stun guns are just plain illegal in those states. So, then, in at least those states, the fact that there may or may not have been a prior federal felony conviction (or even a state one) is irrelevant.
In states where stun guns are legal, though, it may, indeed, matter. But that -- and this is important -- would be up to the state, not the federal government.
Stun gun usage is a state, not a federal, matter. And every state's laws are different. In some states which allow the use of stun guns, anyone convicted of any kind of felony -- whether a federal one, or a state one -- may well not be allowed. In other states which allow the use of stun guns, not only felons, but also even those convicted of misdemeanors might not be allowed. In yet other states which allow the use of stun guns, there may be no restrictions. It all, again, depends on the state.
The questioner will need to consult the laws of his/her state; and since no state was specified in the question, it's impossible to fully answer, as asked.
yes
NO
No. Federal law prohibits a convicted felon from purchasing, possessing, or having access tofirearms and ammunition.
If you are convicted FEDERAL felon, you can't. If you are convicted state felon, and you qualify you can make application for exopungement. See below link:
Yes, stun guns are perfectly legal in California.
No. A convicted felon is a convicted felon regardless of WHERE they go or live in the US. Note: Use caution if you're even thinking about it! The federal punishment for felon in possession of a firearm is a minimum of 15 years in federal prison.
Yes a convicted can be present in a gun range, however a convicted felon can not handle a gun there.Ê Federal law prohibts felons from possesing a firearm and possesion by definition includes holding or handling one.
Not in ANY state. Covered by Federal law.
no
No. A felon cannot own a firearm of any kind unless the felon has had his or her rights restored. There is no current way for a federal felon to have his rights restored. Under some circumstances, persons convicted of a STATE felony can petition for a restoration of gun rights- but not under Federal procedures. .
yes, but the felon may not have access to the gun.
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
Technically, yes, but storing it brings up a major issue... even in a gun safe, having a gun in the home of a felon can be considered allowing them access to firearms, which is a federal felony.
State law may allow gun and ammo possesion for convicted felons, but Federal law does not.
