Best Answer

You cannot own a firearm with a dishonorable discharge, which is the most severe discharge there is.

However, a "less than honorable" is not the same as a "dishonorable" discharge. If the discharge resulted from a court martial, and the service member was convicted of a crime that would be a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison) then you should consult an attorney for legal advice.

Can you own a gun with a bcd?

Assuming that bcd is Bad Conduct Discharge, the answer is Maybe. A Bad Conduct Discharge ALONE does not prohibit possession of a firearm. Federal law (18 US Code 922) lists the conditions that WILL prohibit possessing a gun. Discharge from the military under Dishonorable conditions is one. However, a BCD is not a Dishonorable Discharge- it is a Discharge under other than Honorable conditions. HOWEVER- if the BCD resulted from a court martial finding of guilt, AND it was for a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison), then the CONVICTION will prohibit possessing a firearm.
