>>“Clearly, the laws are too strict here, but that’s something we need to work out for ourselves without honoring licenses to carry guns in states where felons can carry them,
Which states allow that?
None.
Which states allow that?
Actually it is not a completely fallacious argument.
It is not impossible in many states.
In some states a felon can have his right to own firearms restored to him. In Ohio a felon can petition the state to have those rights restored. It is a long process requiring the person to show that he/she is reformed and with out offending for some time.
You may recall that Clinton when running for his first term pardoned a friend of his so that he could resume hunting. So pardoned felons reasonably could get a CCW.
There are also some activist in Ohio seeking to make it automatic for felons to have their 2nd Amendment rights restore after completing their sentence.
I personally may not be opposed to that if the offence was non-violent. It is an issue I would have to study for some time.
