Im referring 790.06 #3 Statutes & Constitution

Good afternoon,You didn't answer my question. The problem that you have here is there is a federal law which prohibits any person convicted of domestic violence from being able to possess a firearm.While Illinois may have issued you a card, FL is not obligated to do so.
