My question involves criminal records for the state of: Mississippi / Florida
Trying to find out if it is legal for me to have a firearm for hunting in Florida, which is where I live. Got in some trouble in Mississippi while going to college 16 years ago. Plead to 3 years with 2 suspended, so really only sentenced to 1 year (burglary of an occupied dwelling), wound up doing 10 months and 11 days. The Florida statue says it is illegal for someone to posses a gun if they were "Found guilty of an offense that is a felony in another state, territory, or country and which was punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year." I was not imprisoned for a term exceeding 1 year so I'm not clear how this would go? Any help or advice is appreciated.
