"On Terry's post above, I agree her career as an armourer is over, but it probably was before the conviction too. I am curious how closely Hollywood follows the prohibited person laws. I have been ever since Marky Mark decided to be an action star. There's lots of DUI felons in Hollywood too. And they get handed guns all the time"
Oh, there's a joke that goes, "I feel so much safer now that Martha Stewart can't have a gun any more."
On DUIs, a lot depends on when and where the violation occurred.
Over the growing noise about drunk driving, the penalties have gone up from, say, "$100 and ten days" upward and upward until they had to determine technical "legal limits" as to how drunk you really are.
Not that I'm "for" drunk driving, but I wanted to point out that the misdemeanor-to-felony continuum on it depended a lot on place and date.
