Default RE: Should Felons own Firearms?

ORIGINAL: bltrax

i believe it should depend on the felony. my best bud has a few felonys from his yonger days of doing stupid things non involving a gun. he doesnt do anythingstupid anymore. he loves to hunt but cant own a gun so when he go's hunting he always barrows a gun.

What i dont understand is PA will let him buy a hunting lisence but not buy a gun!? doesnt make sense.
I see no reason why any person shopuld not be able to buy a hunting license. After all, the proceeds go to run the Game Department. Possession of a license does NOT permit an otherwise banned person to possess a firearm. Your "felon buddy" is committing a federal crime by borrowing a gun and carrying it, hunting license or no!
