RE: Felons banned from bowhunting?
Crimes fall into two classes: Misdemeanors and felonies. For every action a person decides to do, there is a reaction. You can be convicted of a misdemeanor (domestic abuse) and disqualified from ever owning a firearm again. If you commit a crime that can result in a felony conviction, no matter what the class of felony commited, you are setting yourself up to lose a lot of privileges afforded to us. A bow, no matter how you look at it, is an offensive weapon. If a state takes bows away from convicted felons too, more power to them. If a person is that avid a hunter, they should have thought about the crime they committed a little more thoroughly BEFORE committing it.
