I agree with Briman.
Maybe this will clear this situation up. Form 4473 question 11c -Have you ever been convicted of a felony (See important Notice 4 Exception 1) Notice 4 is sections for prohibited persons then exception 1 states that a person who has been convicted of felony or crime is not prohibited from purchasing firearm if 1. under law of jurisdiction where conviction occurred, the person has been pardoned (he has), conviction expunged or set asideor person has had civil rights (right to vote, sit on jury) 2. Person is not prohibited by the law of jurisdiction where conviction occurred from receiving or possessing firearms.
