Can a person convicted of a felony own a firearm in Louisiana?

  1. Yes, after 5 years

  2. No, it is permanently prohibited

  3. Yes, if the conviction is expunged

  4. Yes, but only antique firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, if the conviction is expunged

A person convicted of a felony is generally prohibited from owning a firearm in Louisiana. However, if the conviction is expunged, they may regain the right to own a firearm. It is important to note that the process of expungement involves having the conviction erased or sealed, which can vary in complexity and requirements. This option is correct because it highlights the specific circumstance under which a felon in Louisiana may be able to own a firearm again. The other options are not correct because they do not accurately reflect the general prohibition on felons owning firearms or the process of expungement.
