what state are you in?  There really aren't that many that bar felons, most are just probation/parolle/post release control type deals, where you can vote after completion of your sentence and additional terms.


Even those states that bar felons, generally grant automatic restoration at a certain point or for certain categories, and the rest can apply to the governor or some bullshit agency for restoration. 

Go out and get your rights restored man :thumbup:

There was a big hubbub in my state around 2004 as people where being told they couldn't vote as felons, when this wasn't the case.

I am from washington I didn't know I had a choice to tell the truth I am on probation for a felony possesion charge. It just kinda pisses me off that I can't vote OR own a freakin gun just because I fucked off a couple years of my life on drugs

yeah, as a philosophical matter it's kinda shitty, besides the fact that drugs shouldn't be a criminal issue anyways

how can bad laws be changed if those affected can't vote? 

anyways, at least it looks like washington lets folks vote again after completeing their sentence and fines :thumbup:

I believe the firearm prohibition is a federal reg. so no dice there, but idk... The NRA prolly has a chart or something you could look up. Maybe you can do some shit to get that right back... shitty.

But yeah, here's the state felon voting chart thingy...

washington says after completion of the sentence, and fines can be excused if you can't pay

I think the felon-not-voting-for-5-years or until your probation is over or whatever is bullshit.

There's a reason the sentance you're given is YOUR sentance... IT's what the people have determined is the amount of time to pay back to society what you owe.

Once you're out.. wtf...??? You've PAID YOUR DEBT! It's bad enough that it's going to be tougher to get a fuckin job.. why ya gotta punish people even more by telling them they can't vote.

I call Shenanigans

You can still own a gun as a felon, it just has to be illegally. Everyone knows that illegally bought un-registered guns are much better in the hands of felons, right?!!?

fuck guns. go out and find yourself a well-made, HAND made samurai sword. if your gonna fuck someone up, have fun with it. might just want to leave a scar instead of actually kill them, so if/when they see you again, they know not to fuck with you. people dont tend to give you shit when you pull out a sword.

Why didn't you get a PBJ or Stet docket? Or did you violate probation? You must have been given a least one chance. I was arrested twice for drug possession and never convicted. My police record is clean.
