Under current law it doesn't mater what the felony was that a person was convicted under the convicted criminal no longer has the legal right to own or possess a gun even for protection of self or against a tyrannical government. Even if you wrote hot checks or perpetrated a crime that was not violent or involved a weapon you are still no longer allowed to vote or own a gun.
Do you think someone who is being abused by LEOs or is under threat is going to give a damn about what the law says if there is a gun around?
