My FIL went to prison back in the 70s and I didn't know this until after few years of knowing him. Does the felony thing ever expire? Once a felon, felon for life While true that he will always be a felon because he once committed a felony. Some states have a procedure by which a convicted felon can petition and have his rights restored under certain circumstances.

You also can't legally give a gun to a resident of another state with out an FFL transfer. Also some states have laws regarding private transfers so it could depend on where you live. |
