Re: LTCF DENIAL!
I am consulting a lawyer. I am not a felon. I am a law abiding American, or so I thought.

Re: LTCF DENIAL!
Ummmm....do you pass PICS?
You can be prohibited for lots of reasons other than felonies. Actual jail time served has nothing to do with it, the issue is whether you could have been sentenced to over 2 years for a misdemeanor, or whether you were convicted of any misdemeanor under the drug laws, or whether you fall into any of the other prohibited categories in either state or federal law.
The confusion is mostly due to the asshats in Washington who lie about the Brady check, and brag about all of those "felons" who were denied. I'd bet that a majority of denials are not based on felony convictions. Federal and PA law list a bunch of misdemeanors, in addition to PFA's, mental health issues, less-than-honorable military discharges, unpaid fines or outstanding warrants, etc.

Re: LTCF DENIAL!
Agreed. Actually, it was an ex-girlfriend and I did learn my lesson. The last ten years of my life reflect that. And yes, weed is illegal and I really dont care about that issue at all. I care about being treated like a felon when I havent even had a ticket since this. And to clear things up, I never spent a minute in jail. From what I can recall, I was let go that evening and asked to come back for finger printing, and I complied. It was in my car, so legally it was mine, I thought I did the right thing. Guess I will continue to pay for this mistake even though I have "paid my debt to society". Now I cant protect my own life or the life of my wife in a city riddled with street crime and thugs sick enough to shoot police officers. I work two jobs, I pay my taxes. I should have back ground checked myself, but who thinks to do that? In my mind it was a speeding violation, that was more expensive than the pot fine. I was a STUPID 19 year old kid. Thanks for the reply.

Re: LTCF DENIAL!
You need to put away the "I am not a felon" line - it's a common misconception. There are many misdemeanor convictions that can prohibit you from owning or possessing firearms for life. I'm not saying that you are a prohibited person, but the fact that you presently own firearms doesn't mean you're not.

Re: LTCF DENIAL!
You can be prohibited without committing a felony.
