(hubby and I worked with him at one time) He served his time, is the nicest guy ever. He got a job as a "cook" at a fast food type of place and kept his nose clean and worked his way up. In this economy, he may or may not have a job now. If not, I am sure he is having a difficult time finding another. Life isn't fair.

nope... life isnt fair. I could never figure out why some folks think it is? (musta picked it up in nursery school with all those other fairy tales) The ones who learn from their mistakes will be denied the right to own a firearm... while those who dont will just go ahead and buy them, carry them and use them illegally.

My buddy went to court last year and now is allowed to own muzzle loaders and hunt with them

Muzzle Loaders aren't considered "firearms" under Federal law and most State laws

It's a law that should be changed

Where DH works, the application he filled out asked if he "had ever been convicted of a crime".

My nephew had a drug felony and after so many years, he petitioned the state for restoration of his rights.
