I committed a non-violent crime in NJ in 1993. It was for theft (me and another guy took a check from where we worked) . I had a clean record before and haven't gotten so much as a parking ticket since. However, because of NJ law, the probation I was on ended in 2000 and the law states one has to wait TEN YEARS past that point to apply to have the conviction expunged. That process alone can take 6-7 months, so I have to wait until the summer of 2010 before I will legally be allowed to own a firearm. Chris's idea is a great one, but one that will NEVER, EVER see the light of day as long as Democrats control Congress and one sits in the White House. I know the feeling unfortunately.

The definition of "felony" is so broad it should not be an automatic suspend-forever sentence for any pursuit. For example, taking a low-weight lobster across a state line is a <i>Federal</i> felony, so be careful not only of weight but if you are at a site near a border be sure to have a GPS unit along... Or, in Cambridge MA, it is a weapons charge felony to wear one of those leather bands with diamond-shaped studs (I always wondered why someone would put Rover`s collar around their wrist, but waddahay). Agreed.
