Update: Failed Permit to Purchase, passed NICS
Mntnman:
This is why I don't agree with felons having their rights denied.

If it is as you say then Federal law doesn't prohibit you from owning a firearm
BUT ! there is a big but in there That felony from Missouri is on your record as a conviction.
And you have done nothing to correct it! "bad bad bad" :o ???

Obviously the federal government doesn't consider me a felon as I was able to legally purchase a shotgun today from a FFL dealer after passing NICS.

Well Obviously a Part of the federal government doesn't consider you a felon.....
That and a buck fifty might get you a cup of coffee.
Right now until you get the above conviction corrected.
I would have nothing to do with Firearms (I mean Firearms of [any type]) or any ammunition for same.
Why ?
If you were to get stopped and a records check is run on you by any LLO
this might show up.......Legal or not legal isn't going to matter now.
And if your carrying a Firearm or Ammo they are MOST likely going to treat you and charge you.
the same as they would any other Felon in possession.
Now!....I'm not a lawyer.....but me thinks this most likely could or would get you several other Felony charges add to your record on top of that first mistake.
like others here have said you.
Need to get an attorneys advice.....QUICK!
The Government is never wrong and even if they are ... good luck!...cleaning up the mess that they might be the cause of.
itaintezbnrich:
I will get to work. I know you guys know this - I wasnt intending on doing anything adverse to applicable laws. Merely trying to push forward in a fight for "rights".
I will lay low for now...
OmahaGlock:
Couldn't you just get your juvenile record sealed? Seems like the easiest way to handle the problem...
depserv:
Take the advice of those who told you to talk to a lawyer my friend. I had something on my record once that shouldn't have been there and caused a problem for me (not in regard to having a gun though) and all I had to do was write a letter to the governor and it was taken care of (after a few months). Mine was caused by an idiot bureaucrat doing something she had no business doing and I didn't even know about it until many years later when it caused a problem. Maybe your problem was caused by some bureaucrat not doing his job right and it can be fixed as easily as mine was, but none of us here know either the law or your situation well enough to tell you how to fix it. That's why we have lawyers. I know it sucks having to pay a lawyer to get a Constitutional right that was wrongly denied reinstated, but that's the world we live in.
This problem might end up causing some other problem down the road if you decide not to get it fixed, like maybe you can't get a job you want because of it. So I would spend the money and get it fixed.
Maybe someone here can give you the name of a good lawyer. I don't have one to give you or I would.
I agree with Mntnman that felons should have their 2nd Amendment rights reinstated after they do their time. If they are going to lose any rights for the rest of their life it would make infinitely more sense for them to lose their 4th and 5th Amendment rights. It should be either they lose them all or they lose none; otherwise it's treating the 2nd Amendment as a privilege rather than a right.
