Sorry; but I think the laws that make it illegal for convicted felons to have deadly weapons are good laws. Or maybe I'm just not understanding your reply?

Convicted felons, once having served their sentence, deserve to have all their rights restored.

Especially since we are all now potential felons.

Do you use those little blue boxes that they sell in WalMart to gather up and organize your daily dose of prescription drugs?

That is a felony, along with a myriad of other things.

Yes, that was my point when I talked about it seeming as if jaywalking were now a felony. I'm glad I'm not the only who's concerned about it.

While I agree that there are too many useless laws, I somehow feel confident enough to bet my house on never being charged for keeping my 14 herbs and minerals, along with two prescription drugs, in a M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su, plastic case. Meanwhile, about 20% of parole/probation violations resulting in revocation and imprisonment involve weapons violations that would not be illegal for non-offenders.
Now, you may wish there were no such thing as parole/probation; but that's beside the point; and that's what we have at present.
Anyway, blessings to you and yours!

I've heard people say that but I have never seen it officially stated. In fact, there is ton's of information on traveling (even overseas) with your pills in secondary containers.

Not to mention we now have the Lautenberg Amendment which forbids people convicted of certain misdemeanors from possessing firearms. Next will be DUI convictions. Then reckless driving. Next thing you know, not making timely payments on your student financial aid will be enough to take away your 2nd Amendment rights for life.
