Not banned or prohibited. I went to 2 lawyers (one of which I found here) and was told I am NOT a prohibited purchaser. I cannot carry concealed tho because PA is awesome. My charges are from 10 years ago and are not violent or sexual in any nature. They are low grade or ungraded misdemeanors. Supposedly I am still in an “undetermined” category. If I were to be getting by and not supposed to it would one of the single greatest acts of gross negligence ever. I have purchased several receivers and handguns over the years. Idk. Not a lawyer but I do know a few and they say I don’t fall into the categories.
