I know this has been beaten to death but how can you legally own a firearm in Louisiana if you're not convicted of a violent felony but not be able to purchase a firearm from a store?
How fricking idiotic is that?

Posted on 9/18/14 at 10:19 am to 007mag

Someone can give it to you or a personal sale.

Why did you go to prison?

it was a long time ago. Don't feel like reiterating.

Just get someone to "gift" the gun to you
Posted on 9/18/14 at 10:32 am to meauxjeaux2
This makes no sense. Are you saying you got delayed? That happens...

Straw purchases are. Giving a gun as a gift isn't.

I'm a convicted felon but have way over 10 years since getting off my parole and pardoned.
I can legally own a gun in Louisiana but i'm pretty sure i would not pass the background check at a store through a FFL.
I would also like to be able to purchase firearms online but again,would be flagged i'm assuming

Not exactly. ATF Form 4473.
quote:
Question 11.a. Actual Transferee/Buyer: For purposes of this form, you are the actual transferee/buyer if you are purchasing the firearm for yourself or otherwise acquiring the firearm for yourself (e.g., redeeming the firearm from pawn/retrieving it from consignment, firearm raffle winner). You are also the actual transferee/buyer if you are legitimately purchasing the firearm as a gift for a third party. ACTUAL TRANSFEREE/BUYER EXAMPLES: Mr. Smith asks Mr. Jones to purchase a firearm for Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith gives Mr. Jones the money for the firearm. Mr. Jones is NOT THE ACTUAL TRANS- FEREE/BUYER of the firearm and must answer “NO” to question 11.a. The licensee may not transfer the firearm to Mr. Jones. However, if Mr. Brown goes to buy a firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Black as a present, Mr. Brown is the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and should answer “YES” to question 11.a. However, you may not transfer a firearm to any person you know or have reasonable cause to believe is prohibited under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), (n), or (x).

So my wife can purchase a gun and sell it to me.
Whopee

You need to try and get it off your record. Selling a firearm privately to a felon (or a previous felon) is still against the law. Any private seller would not be a fan of straw selling.
I'm of the opinion that if your felony was non-violent and you have done the time, that you should be able to purchase a gun. But the law is the law.

You should if you were really pardoned. I was charged with a felony as a young man. I beat the case with a dismissal of the charges, but I get delayed every time. Most places give it to you after 3 days. Academy made me wait because their policy is go/no go, and it took about a month to get the green light. I knew the clerk at the local courthouse and he said they(federal background check people) called and requested a copy of everything that had to do with the case.
The point is, if you took care of your stuff and there is a paper trail confirming the disposition of the case. Then you should be good...

only way for me to find out would be to lie on the application since theoretically i am a convicted felon.
I'm not willing to do that.
