I'll paraphrase Ayn Rand; The only way Gov't can control you is to make you a criminal.

AND
Have had 10 clear years of living among your fellow citizens and a positive manner
AND
then appeal to a judge to have the case sealed and your 2nd Amendment rights returned to you.
BTW, you will be hard-pressed to find an Arkansas state felony one can be convicted of that does not trip one of the 29 exceptions clauses listed above.
Meaning this Bill, should it be signed into law, would be relative to very few people convicted of a non-violent felony.

:::Follow up, if after reading my post, and reading the bill, you still feel its bad law, please cite the Arkansas state felony one might commit, be convicted of, serve prison time for, complete probation and restitution for, is not one of the automatic 29 triggers for this law to not apply, wait ten years after all court ordered actions from prison to pay off court costs, 10 years with no bad acts a judge denies your request for, you feel should still prohibit an Arkansas their 2nd Amendment rights.
Thanks
I do look forward to an adult, educated response.

So this is a feel good law. One that is passed to appease one side or another that really changes very little. Most states already have a process to restore your rights after a Felony conviction and vary from state to state. Based on what SGM Erik Marquez posted…. It effectively changes nothing. It is law makers, passing laws to make their constituents think they are doing something which in reality they are only wasting time and money…..which I guess is doing something.

SGT Gerald “Jerry” Harrell - As this as an Arkansas deal, which current has no path to restore rights for a convicted felon...Id say while it may only apply to a few, it is something needed.
There are some I know from working in prisons Id be fine with this law applying to them. There are some on the outside I know, Id be fine with this law applying to them, and there are tenfold in prison or out who will have a very bad day if I see them with a weapon.

Agreed. In 35 years of Law Enforcement, I have seen many success stories…. And many abstract failures ( I have a cousin who fits this category). Properly administered, it could be good.
The headline, especially in today’s environment, sends most into disbelief and anger but it appears, if I am understanding it correctly, Arkansas is just doing what many states have done already.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I find your responses here fair, even and thoughtful, even when I disagree with them. Please consider reading my posted response, and comment.
