## Opinion text

JOHNSON, Justice
(specially concurring).
I concur specially in this opinion by reason of stare decisis. We have consistently followed the rule announced in the majority opinion for many years, and the legislature has not seen fit to amend the law so as to deprive one of his civil rights by reason of having committed a felony under the federal statute where same is not a felony under our state law but is only a misdemeanor.
I am authorized to state that WELCH, C. J., concurs in this view.
