Can someone convicted of a felony own a firearm in Alabama?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only after a certain period

  3. No, unless their voting rights are restored

  4. No, under any circumstances

The correct answer is: No, unless their voting rights are restored

In Alabama, under Section 17-3-30.1 of the Code of Alabama, someone convicted of a felony is prohibited from possessing a firearm unless their voting rights have been restored. This means that options A and D are incorrect as they state that someone convicted of a felony can own a firearm without any restrictions or under any circumstances. Option B is incorrect as it implies that there is a set period of time after which a convicted felon can own a firearm, when in fact it depends on the restoration of their voting rights.
