[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2076692, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]First of all, I agree that if you don't want the conviction, don't commit the crime. To do otherwise is asking for it. Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I was thinking that I read somewhere that after a felon finishes one's sentence and stays clean for a certain period of time (I'm thinking it was 10 years) then one can appeal to the Governor of the state or President of the U.S. and request a pardon. That was one of the sticking points when Bill Clinton "pardoned" Mark Rich of his crimes here in America. The issue there was that Rich hadn't served a sentence. So, if what I've just mentioned is true, then I guess the loss of freedom to own a firearm is NOT a life sentence unless the criminal continues to commit crimes and not be eligible for a pardon.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
