Re: Federal Law Question

What specific felony is following you? Cite the statute no.
if you know it. When was it? What was the disposition
(i.e. SIS probation, conviction and probation with a "back
up," or prison sentence)? What was the ultimate disposition
(complete probation, record sealed, 12/12 a prison sentence)?

The answers to these questions will help me determine your
firearms rights.

I won't comment on your fairness argument about jury service
and public office. If you can't, then you can't.

As to the law, yes, there is a provision barring you from
state office, depending upon your answers above. You can
serve on city council board, but not a state board. That
may include subdivions, such as county government. But I'm
not sure off hand.

I've never sought a pardon on someone's behalf. So I cannot
speak from experience on how hard that is.
