Rachel Powell, recently pardoned for her involvement in the January 6 riot, visited the Venango County Sheriff's Office in Pennsylvania to apply for a gun permit. During the application process, she was confronted with a question about previous criminal convictions, which could jeopardize her application. Concerned about legal implications, she sought clarification but received little guidance from clerks and officers present. Ultimately, Powell decided to answer 'no' to the question, despite her recent conviction, reflecting the complex intersection between personal rights and legal ambiguities following her pardon.
With her two youngest children trailing behind, Ms. Powell walked into the Venango County Sheriff's Office, where a sign advised visitors to Keep Calm and Carry.
Can I make a note that I answered this way because I have a presidential pardon? asked Ms. Powell, who once owned an AK-47 rifle and a Glock pistol.
