I believe that Felons REGAIN the right to own arms once they have served their time.

And you would be wrong.

Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(g)(1). The offense is a felony. The law provides the following:
It shall be unlawful for any person-
(1) who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
***
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

See 18 USC 922(g).

No, I am not wrong. I said that I believe Felons regain the right to own and carry guns, NOT that the “law” says they do. I also believe that a concealed carry permit is NOT required to carry a gun, open or concealed...regardless of what the “law” says.
