Pure nonsense. If your wife has a felony conviction, simply deny her access to firearms by buying a safe....or keep them around for self defense and when the cops show up, put them in the safe. Felons can own blackpowder/ball/cap pistols since they are not firearms.
I’m not debating the effacy nor commen sense of the law, just reporting the facts....
Some states consider any gun, (whether in a safe or not), in the same residence as a felon will constitute access....
There are all sort of felon advocacy rights groups out there protesting this issue but the fact still remains, NO guns is the same residence as a felon.....
Yes, this law does infringe on the non-felon spouses 2nd Amendment rights.....
I personally believe once you’ve served your debt all citizen rights should be returned, voting, gun ownership etc.....
