a felon could use the weapon for security reason or simple things such as hunting?

I say if you're a felon who has been deemed socially acceptable and ut back on the street, you should be able to own a gun IN YOUR HOME. I don't think allowing them to carry outside the home is a good thing. That being said, I also think a lot of the felonies shouldn't be felonies. You can have a felony for driving without a license 3 times, why should that make someone a "convicted felon" ?
Unfortunately all felons get lumped together and share the same fate on this.
It's sort of a mute point to take it away from felons anyway. If someone decides to start or return to a life of crime they'll easily get a gun either legally or not.
But if we tell criminals not to do something... they will listen...
