Changes the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by allowing persons who have completed their sentence for a nonviolent felony to possess firearms

This bill modifies the law regarding unlawful firearm possession to allow individuals who have finished their sentences for nonviolent felonies to legally own guns. Currently, people on probation or parole for such crimes are prohibited from possessing firearms, but this change would remove that restriction once their supervision ends. The legislation defines a nonviolent felony as an offense that does not involve threats or force against another person, while maintaining stricter rules for those convicted of violent felonies. Antique firearms are also exempted from these new restrictions.
