As to A, we know he can't if he was convicted, not just arrested, on the DV charge. The question is, if I see where he was convicted, should I send this to an ATF agent friend, or cut him a break and hope he learns his lesson?


Jawbone,
Is all DV considered to be a felony in AL or is there a misdemeanor category available under a DV charge? Any chance it could have been reduced down?


That's federal law. Any violent DV conviction, and there are some they don't consider violent, makes you a person forbidden from carrying a firearm. They can still bowhunt and muzzle loader hunt, but no firearm. Perhaps that is why it suddenly went from a rifle hunt to a bow hunt? The main question right now would be, what was he convicted of, not arrested for, but convicted of?
