    I have burglary charges and oddly have been employed as an electrician, appliance repairman, and was even the lead repairman for a company. I have found as time goes on it got harder for me to get those position's, why, I dont know. I turned to trucking because there was a better chance of making a better living and a career at it. I dont really care for it to be honest, but like you said, adapt and overcome. Here in Illinois felon's cant hold business license, I wouldnt want to be in business for myself anyway's for the very fact at 31 Im about as responsible as an 18 year old, bad combo trying to run a business, my point is civil death isnt the answere either, Im more just pissed off I cant have my gun right's restored and live a normal life. See ghost ryder, I could have a gun tonight if I wanted, but I know it's against the law so I dont get one, but hey, Im a criminal, hardcore for life, so why shouldnt I?? It's not the threat of prison that stop's me, I can do that no problom, it's because I didnt like who I was and wanted to be a better person, but in your view that's inpossible and I shouldnt be afforded the chance to do so.

    All you need is a roof over your head, clothes on your back and 3 meals a day. Are you telling me that felons can't get this? I call BS.

    This was a good catch for them! Not bad for bank fishing (saltwater) with a Zebco.
