The problem is, that ANYONE can commit a felony they did not commit.
Say for instance, an occational gun writer and moderator of a long
running firearms echo called Firearms tech.  This person has all the
nessessary licensing, ect.  AND is a "law abiding" citizen.
One day, he gets pulled over and some cop plants some Class-C cocaine
in his automobile.  He is convicted of Felony Drug possession and pays
a few meager fines.  No problem.
Only problem is, this felony conviction would effectivly eliminate many of
this persons firearms activitys/hobbys.  Including concealed carry.
Does a indefinite probational punishment for felonys really make sense?
