Felony conviction/no firearm = true. Rights reinstatement is possible, not automatic.
Guns prior to, I think 1900, are not considered a firearm in this same regard/legal for felon to carry.
yeah, im not going to dig further that that article on it, but suspicion or being suspicious, as the article says, isn't a crime unless guilt is proven, and has to be enough evidence to not only convict, but have enough for a warrant. Suspicious isn't a misdemeanor or a felony but it's possible to be arrested before any/enough evidence is gathered, since they can always drop charges.
