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.
