Felons might be allowed to have guns in Louisiana

St. Chris said

I think the Judge loses this one. Convicted felons already have other "fundamental rights" stripped from them. Rights given to them in the U.S. Constitution and Louisiana Constitution, yet nobody is arguing they should have the right to vote, or while on probation at least, that they have the right to protection against illegal search and seizure laws.

As to having to changed the law to affect only violent felonies, the law already only applies to certain felonies such as violent crimes and drug crimes. On most other felonies, if the person is not on probation or parole, then the law restricting possession of a firearm does not apply.

I don't know about that. My wifes cousin just got off of 6 months house arrest because he was hunting and a convicted felon. I know his fekon was not for a violent or gun related crime. He can vote, just not for President and that was only until he was off of probation. All the laws are screwed up when it comes to this felon thing. If you get a simple felony then you should be allowed to live like anyone else once you comleted your probation period. That is the main point of probation, to make sure you can stayt out of trouble and once you have proven as much then you should be allowed to live like everyone else.
