For persons who have hunted all of their lives, and enjoy sharing this past time with their friends and family, it is important for them to realize that a felony conviction strips a person of all rights to gun ownership. In fact, after conviction, possession of a firearm, can result in another felony conviction. (See Arkansas Code Annotated 5-73-103)

The only way that a convicted felony in Arkansas can regain his rights to possess a firearm is to file for a pardon or other statutory relief through the Governor’s Office.
