constitutionality of the 2004 amendment to N.C.G.S. § 14-415.1
that makes it “unlawful for any person who has been convicted of
a felony to purchase, own, possess, or have in his custody, care,
or control any firearm.” We determine that N.C.G.S. § 14-415.1
is unconstitutional as applied to plaintiff and reverse the
decision of the Court of Appeals.
