Are sex offenders, allowed to have guns or leave the state?

A convicted Felon – to include a Registered Sex Offender convicted of a Felony – is not allowed to be in possession of a firearm. A sex offender must notify the jurisdiction of County Sheriff, State Agency, or Metropolitan Police Department that manages that registrant’s sex offender registry of his or hers intent to leave the state prior to their departure. For a Sexual Violent Predator this is (3) days and for a Sex Offender this (7) days. That registrant must also notify the reciprocating agency, as well, upon his or her arrival.
