Can a covicted felon buy a gun in Maryland?

Answer 1

Answer 1I'm certain it depends on the laws of the state in which the felon resides and wishes to vote. I can only speak to the Texas voter qualification law, the Texas Election Code, which I quote verbatum.

"ELECTION CODE Title 2. VOTER QUALIFICATIONS AND REGISTRATION CHAPTER 11. QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTING Sec. 11.002. QUALIFIED VOTER.

In this code, "qualified voter" means a person who:

(4) has not been finally convicted of a felony or, if so convicted, has:

(A) fully discharged the person's sentence, including any term of incarceration, parole, or supervision, or (B) been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disability to vote;".j3h.

Answer 2

Yes....convicted felons CAN vote, as long as they are not currently in a correctional facility. See the link below for details...... lhttp://www.dos.state.pa.us/voting/lib/voting/guide/convicted_felon_brochure.pdf

Answer 3

A felon cannot vote in the State of California unless he/she first receives a certificate of rehabilitation under Penal Code section 1203.4.

Addtional info: a felon cannot vote anywhere in the U.S. When you become a felon, you lose your voting rights. You can sometimes, under some circumstances, have your rights restored.

Answer 4

Virginia - Individuals convicted of most offenses may apply for a gubernatorial restoration of rights three years after completion of their sentence. Those convicted of violent felonies, drug sales, and electoral offenses must wait five years.

Answer 5

This question is tricky. I have looked into it a few times myself, and have come up with two sets of answers. Some claim that if you are convicted of a felony, you will never be allowed to vote in Maryland. If you attempt to register to vote at the MVA, the guidelines for eligibility include not being convicted of a felony. However, some sites claim that if you have been convicted of a felony, you must have completed all court sentences, including probation, and have been cleared of probation for at least 3 years to vote.

Answer 6

No. A convicted felon cannot purchase, own or be in possession of any weapon classified as a firearm - or ammunition.

Answer 7

Not in any state unless the state has restored those rights. Without that, possessing a gun by itself is a Federal felony.

Answer 8

no, felons can not vote

Answer 9

No, they can not.

Answer 10

Yes, as long as you are not on parole or probation. Don't listen to the other hater who answered your question. Get out there and vote!
