Re: guns

Hello there,

First, you were given bad advice. If you have a felony conviction you cannot possess any firearms other than a black powder gun that complies with federal laws.

People can try and have their rights restored to possess a firearm but they are usually denied by the ATF.

Sincerely,

Erick Platten
