I know that Federal Firearms regs have various reasons that disqualify a person from owning or possessing a firearm.
Being a convicted felon is one such reason.
So my question is, if someone was "convicted" as a juvenile of a felony, does that felony conviction follow them into adulthood and bar them from possessing firearms?
As info, the person I am speaking of is adament that he has passed NICS checks when purchasing firearms. So I have to figure that either a juvenile offense is not a disqualifier, or that it is a disqualifier but these particular juvenile records were never entered into NICS.
Can anyone shed any insight?
