Once they have completed their obligation to their state, felons who did not murder and did not commit a sex crime, should have all their rights. And that’s what the Florida law does.

I see no restoration of felon firearms rights in the ballot initiative.

I’m not a felon but FL has some pretty encompasing felony laws.

Let’s take fishing. Say you go fishing and catch 5 speckled sea trout off Pasco county but land them in Pinellas county. Boom, Region IV - Region V violation. Class III Felony. Or you mis-identify a Red Grouper as a Red Hind? Class III Felony. Or you do real well catching Snappers and grunts and mis-identify a Mango Snapper as a Grunt, -another Class III felony.

Then there’s size limits and seasons. All subject to change at FWC’s whim, posted on their website. If you don’t notice the change after they post it -another felony. And they ALWAYS change the regs during the year. Most anglers use an App just to keep up with what’s legal day to day. Felonies if you can’t keep up.

I didn’t vote for the amendment but I can appreciate the reasoning. Personally, I think they should exclude drug and alcohol related felonies too. People regularly under the influence should not be choosing public policy.
