I’m not sure I see a problem with the particular case used as an example here. A convicted felon has partial rights restored in the state he committed the felony, including gun ownership rights and then moves to Maryland where the state denies rights to felons unless the the felon receives a full pardon.

I think that most states do not restore all rights to felons without a full pardon. Live a good life for a while and then apply for a pardon and all is well. If you don’t get it remember to tell your kids to not be convicted felon.

I feel like there's a "full faith and credit" issue here. And maybe some kind of due process issue as well.

Virginia Governor McCaulliffe ‘restored’ felons right to vote so they could vote for Shrillary. That alone was fraud, IMO. That vote to restore felons voting rights should have been done by the entire citizenry of Virginia....not just one person.
