Yes, that is a possibility. Each state regulates firearm possession as it wants. For example, there was a case that went to the Washington Supreme Court over a decade ago where a felon from Montana who had regained his gun rights in Montana moved to Washington and then got charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. His conviction was ultimately reversed, but he basically just got lucky.
There is quite a few cases like this that can be found online.
I may not be a lawyer, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night, but if I were, I would argue double
Jeopardy all day.
Does Texas have the right to impose punishment on a person who was convicted of a crime in Washington? (This is not a request for legal advice!)
