actually felons do have a right to self defense, as there have been cases where they have used another person’s weapon to defend themselves. they lose’the right to own guns but under self’defense situations like where theyve gotten a gun away from an attacker and used it or held the attacker at gunpoint, or used a family members’ gun to defend themselves and family from attack, there have ben cases where they have been okay by the courts in doing so.

not’being able’to owning property isnt the same as no self defense rights. they can still have edge weapons, hammers, screwdrivers, an automobile, rope, chainsaw. they are hardly defenseless given whatall can hurt or kill a person.

I suppose my language was imprecise, let me take another go at it. A felon loses his right to mount a self defense as effective as that allowed to the general public, over the age of 18. Ok, I think I covered my bases there :-)

Couldn’t a “felon” just rent a gun?
