Sebastian, actually in NJ, felony convictions can be expunged as long as they as they don’t fall under certain categories (crimes like murder, rape, kidnapping, etc).

If I find that I’m currently up the creek, I’ll have to wait another 2 years to get the record expunged.

Under federal law he can still shoot blackpowder. How does his state treat blackpowder?

Don’t sneer at the soft charcoal. This country was built with it.

Unless he got a pardon, he’s prohibited. I’m pretty sure that you can’t expunge a felony conviction.

Forget your gun nut. I had an old college roomie call me up this year wanting to shoot a deer. I had access to plenty of doetags and he ended up going four times, shooting seven deer, buying a Rem700 in 270, a Tikka T3 in .223 and now he has ordered some custom hunting rifle from a gunsmith that is going to set him back about 3K. They all have REALLY expensive scopes on them as well.
Oh, I also got him in on a buy of K31s, which he promptly made a wall mount for. Plus he’s building a range to shoot on his family land.

So I’ll see YOUR gun nut and raise you seven deer, four rifles and a range.
