    Post: Gun rights

    Posted by Rob on 6/27/08


    In 2000 I was convicted by a military court and received 6
    months (I served 3 months) in confinement. I was told by my
    military lawyer that this would have no effect on my gun,
    voting, etc. rights as the military does not differentiate
    between a felony and misdemeanor. I was given my guns back
    when I was released (1 handgun, 1 A15 rifle, and 1 shotgun).
    As of last year I purchased another handgun online and had
    it shipped to a local dealer where my info was taken down
    and ran through the system as part of my waiting period.
    There were delays and after 2 weeks I was told I was denied.
    The reason I was given was that I was convicted of a
    misdemeanor with a possible sentence over one year. Is this
    correct? I have been voting this whole time and have had no
    trouble with the law.
