Sure, if one is banned from possessing, one is banned from

the possession restrictions.
Well, we can use our imaginations. What federal carry laws are we
aware of? National Concealed Carry for Cops (and Retired Cops) is the
big one that comes to mind. I suspect that all cops are citizens, but
it's possible that not all retired cops are citizens. Looking through
the text of the federal law, I don't see any language restricting this
privilege with respect to citizenship.
Yeah, it's not a big loophole, but to a lawyer or programmer, it's FTW.
