Can a felon whose drug conviction is over 10 yrs + from adjudication and sentence release work in a gun smith operation? They are allowed to possess a firearm in our state.
It is not me, I have no felonies or misdemeanors  and no legal or illegal drug use issues.

On one hand, by your state's laws the individual is allowed to handle firearms. However since smithing may also be governed by the ATF's regulations it may be forbidden. The company's best bet would likely be to run it by a lawyer to be sure they're not putting themselves in a bad position. |

I am going to spit ball and say NO. The problem is there are functioning firearms within close proximity to the Person on a regular basis.
Constructive Possession is where the JBT's are headed With this. Not worth getting arrested over. Get rights returned then tell them to FO. |

Kurt Uber of Uber's lock and Gun in Pensacola, FL was a registered Felon, yet he somehow managed to run a gun shop. No idea how, but apparently there are ways to do it.

Get an expungement. This. Solves the problems if a State conviction. Still the way to go if a Fed conviction, but more difficult and more expensive. |

I guess you could work on any part that is not a considered serialized firearm by the government...
barrels, triggers, etc are fine receivers and frames are not |

The key is "possesion". If he is in possesion of a serialized component he is in violation of Federal Law and jeopardizing not only his keester, but also the holder of the FFL. Plenty of other machining jobs out there that will not put him nor the FFL holder at risk. Hydraulic cylinders are fun..... |

Just some thoughts: If the person is still on probation/ parole only his probation/parole officer can grant him permission if allowed in the particular state.
If a person was convicted of DWI or DUI he can still work at a motor garage / mechanic at a car dealership, etc. He just can't test drive a vehicle. |

I thought as long as the FFL holder was in possession of firarms and logged them in, employees in the store can sell/work on them but it's under the FFL holders name/license.
So the individual with a felony past isn't really in possession. |

So the individual with a felony past isn't really in possession. If you were a shop owner would you be willing to bet your license, livelihood and freedom on it? Grey area. When grey areas are encountered one is always safest to err to the dark side of the grey. |

Call Obama, he is freeing drug convicts left and right. Seriously, he will probably sign the expungment on the spot.
