Maybe they bowhunt? I think a felon can own a bow...........
Some of depends on the state and the level of the felony. Non-violent felons can in some cases use long guns for hunting after a certain amount of time has passed after they serve their term. (I believe in TX it’s 5 yrs after the completion of all the term, parole probation etc.) They must apply to the state for the exception. I am unsure if they can own the guns or just possess them for hunting purposes.
I am going on memory from an obscure reference to the Penal Code when I was in the Academy, so I may be wrong.
Maybe not. Felons on parole or probation are not allowed to have a “weapon”. That includes knives and clubs. Bows could be included.
That's a different tag, there are two, archery and gun, not interchangeable. I don't know if felons can buy a bow tag in WI.
Yep that is true. Whoever posted this should have looked into that. A bow is not considered a firearm.
