Let's say that they're convicted today and they're waiting on sentencing, so for whatever reason they're still allowed to go home while they wait. Does someone have to go through their home and eliminate any firearms before they can enter the home?

What if they don't have anyone? The new felon can't get rid of them without possessing them.

Can they own the guns, or can someone else in the home own the guns, but the felon just can't touch them?

Or does this law not actually take effect upon conviction, but only after they've served their sentence?

can someone else in the home own the guns, but the felon just can't touch them? Yes another person who lives in the home can own firearms but they must be lock up so the person with the felony doesn't have access

It's just something I'm trying to understand, really.

I was reading an article about a convicted felon that still owns a gun, and I was trying to do some research on the legality. I kept coming across flaws in the logic, though, and the more I read the more questions I had!

How can he get rid of the guns if he can't possess them?

Is it fair to force someone sell property at a financial loss?

Is it fair to force them to sell at a loss when the case may be pending appeal?

Is it fair for someone that's not been convicted of a crime to be forced to sell their property, just because someone else in their household was convicted?

The only reasonable answer would be for the police to go to their home and take all of their guns upon conviction, store them safely, and return them if they win their appeal or if a judge restores their right to ownership. Or, if the felon prefers, they should be able to sell the guns and the police handle the transaction for them. But I don't think that this happens.

I'm not entirely sure that I agree with convicted felons losing the right to own a gun, anyway. Or the right to vote. Both are Constitutional rights, not privileges, and by definition a right can't be legally denied.

If someone is convicted of a felony, what is the actual process for any guns that they own?

What if they don't have anyone? The new felon can't get rid of them without possessing them.

Can they own the guns, or can someone else in the home own the guns, but the felon just can't touch them?

Or does this law not actually take effect upon conviction, but only after they've served their sentence?
