BOHNTR,
I think this dead horse has been kicked to dust.
Everybody has their sob story. Although the "jealous dirty cop framed me and I was unjustly convicted of a felony" story is a good one (although apparently the jury didn't buy it), the fact remains: The people of Utah decided they didn't want felons bow hunting there. They can change that law through their representatives, if they so choose.

I agree, this topic needs to go away.
BB and p58 I'm with you guys on this one. This Sh$$ is getting old.
Maybe I'm confused but doesn't federal law forbid convicted felons from possessing any type of weapon, including archery equipment?
No, only firearms.Quote:

Imagine if felons couldn't own golf clubs, baseball bat, steak knives, haha.Quote:

That's called punishing the object instead of punishing the criminal for the crime.....which is often the case.Quote:
