No victim? No crime.
An unjust law or an unconstitutional law is no law at all and is to be considered null and void. It is every man’s duty to abolish all unconstitutional and unjust laws. An informed jury is liberty’s last defense.
If he hurt another’s right to life, liberty or pursuit of happiness, lock him up.

PC 31360 Felon in possession of body armor

WTF I feel this is wrong. if you are a felon you arent supposed to be able to defend yourself with a firearm, so why cant you try to defend yourself with body armor while you run away

As a convicted felon I wish there was a process to being able to legitimately own a gun. I was convicted in my twenties and never been in teiuble again. Now I homestead, there must be a way…

I think it’s possible in some cases. An internet search would be a good place to start. Good luck. Nonviolent offenders should be able to regain the right.

Control of the people is why everyone is becoming a ‘felon’ of some sort or another. https://kottke.org/13/06/you-commit-three-felonies-a-day

They’re supposed to work for us, not us for the them.

Time to reform the system.

The best thing for you to do and the only way to get factual answers to your question would be to ask a reputable attorney who specializes in California firearm laws and/or felony expungements. Count on it costing a couple hundred bucks just to ask a couple questions but you will get the facts.

the only thing you can do is write to the governor and ask for a pardon. you can ask for a pardon after ten years after you are done with all your sentencing and if you dont have any new crimes

Black powder revolvers seem to be a felon alternative, consult with a lawyer first regarding your case and limitations.

Saw a felon with one get it back from ATF, sadly.

If you guys like vigilante justice movies. Harry Brown is a good one, it’s like Gran Torino on steroids. Michael Caine has still got it.
