As a former parole agent, adult parole in another state, all I can say is get in line behind all the other wrongfully convicted felons.

Currently, you can deer hunt and hunt for any and all game permitted to be taken by means other than a firearm, to include a modern inline muzzle loader. As a felon you may possess a replica made prior to a certain year as Missouri is now adopting the Federal standard under 18 USCA 922 (g)(1) and (h)(1). Efforts are being made within the state of Missouri to undo this wrong, [url=http://www.mafrr.org]Home[/url].

Jayden, it sounds like you may also be a Veteran or adopted a term from a soldiers oath, "foreign and domestic". The reality is this, the US Supreme Court held that the Second Amendment is an Individual Right, which for the security of the state could be infringed, ie...while a person is in prison. However, the Missouri Constitution Article I. § 23 states, “That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned; but this shall not justify the wearing of concealed weapons.” Now the point to argue is are you a citizen? The answer to that is yes. The Supremacy Clause does not continue to apply in this matter, as there are several states which have a process of restoration that is either automatic or is through a judicial process. When you are a ward of the State either on probation, parole, in custody or otherwise then the state may impose firearm restrictions upon you, as your citizenship is in question. This will make more citizens less dependent upon a government seeking to make us all slaves to a system of bureaucracy rather than a system of representation.

Regardless of who has a conviction for committing the crime or who was set up and innocent, the reality is that the judicial process is set up by man and is therefore fallible and a process should be in place to restore the rights of those convicted for non violent crimes, so that they can move on with their life. Those who have committed serious offenses murder, rape, arson, etc...should be in prison for life or executed. I have a hard view on the subject I know and I am certain mitigating factors may have played a part in why one person kills another person, all of which a Judge and jury should carefully consider.

As far as the original topic, the older law was much more sane than the ones the Feds foisted on us and Jay "I'm not a crook" Nixon signed into law. I can understand why somebody who committed aggravated assault, homicide, rape, kidnapping, or similar violent crimes (which often involve a weapon) would be barred from possessing a firearm. But making any felony a permanent disqualification for being able to do something like go deer hunting during rifle season in my opinion is a cruel and unusual punishment and should be stricken as unconstitutional. How is somebody that does something like forge a check like one of the posters did any more "dangerous" with a weapon than anybody else?

well the new law in Missouri that was up held nov 29 by the united surprem court is that all felon are prohibited to have poss of a firearm .

I do believe that in Missouri if you are a felon and you stay clean like you say in the first post you have written I heard that you can have your RECORD EXPUNGED. Go to a lawyer that deals with EXPUNGING RECORDS and see if your qualified. And if I'm correct it should only cost around $100.

If I were you I wouldn't think about a firearm without consulting an attorney. Just because state law says one thing does not protect you in federal court; all it takes is one mistake or mishap under the right circumstances and you're off to club fed. If I were you I wouldn't risk it.
