question re: felons hunting

(1/1)

depserv:
Is there a way for a person with a felony conviction to legally hunt using a firearm?  For example, if he goes hunting with a friend and he's using his friend's gun, would that be legal?

Here's a good place to start:

Answer to question is:  probably not.

Which would be really, really sad.

Maybe with a bow or crossbow, as mentioned in the second source, above.

Not in Nebraska.

Federal law defines "firearm" in a way that excludes primitive firearms. Nebraska law has no such exclusion, and so a convicted felon who has not been pardoned and who has not had his conviction set aside would violate the law by possessing a black powder firearm.
