Can a convicted felon in Pennsylvaina who served 4 years in the state pen own any kinds of hand or shotgun's? This person went to prison for violence against his wife and kids. Also,is it be a threat on one's life if he uses her picture as target practice?

Any convicted felon has to wait 7 years then has to be approved by the state to own any type of fire arm... At least that's how it is in Alabama

Incorrect. Under federal law a convicted felon may never possess a firearm. And federal law trumps Alabama law.

The only firearm a felon can possess is a blackpowder gun used for hunting.

So I got a little more information. He was charged with unlawful restraint felony 3 and endangering the welfare of a child I believe that was a felony 3 as well.He served 14 months to 3 years, then he had an M1 for simple assult on me and another charge of operating a boat under a controlled substance and that was an M2. Does this change any of you guy's information you gave me?

A felony conviction is a felony conviction as far as that's concerned. I am not aware that they care what the charge actually was.

Thank you...

Are you trying to help him get a firearm? It seems you should be elated that he cannot own one.

No, it doesn't change our information. A felon is a felon. Doesn't matter what the crime is, just the title "felon" caused him to lose his rights.

No I'm not! He has guns in his house and he's shooting my pictures and he's claiming its theraputic.

Ah, I got you now! Thanks for the clarification. This would cost him a lot of money and major time in the slammer!

The others are right (well, most of them)... Under Federal Law he cannot own any kind of firearm. In fact, not only can he not own them, but he can't even handle them even if they aren't his.

I talked to a police officer/friend today and he told me not to sit on this that people snap everyday and that something needs done. Thank you for all your help.

No, for goodness sake, do NOT sit on this. Get it done!
