How to Restore Your Firearm Rights 

I am not sure if that is legally or philosophically correct. Rights of all kinds, contractual, societal, inherent and others are frequently taken away. The right to possess a firearm, like many rights, are guaranteed in the Constitution, however, they can be limited or entirely taken away.

RecordGone.com I am 50 year in California who has gotten a felounious record expunge for a little over ten years and would like to regain firearm privlige.

docoluv9 Thank you!

Thats right. If you have to ask the answer is no.

The constitution does not give you rights.it guarantees you God given rights.everyone has the right to be able to protect themselves. The government is trying to limit people.from what I see they need limiting.the dumb asses

Good question because all Americans have the right to bear arms the state has nothing to say they can't say nothing

because the government does not care about us and tramples our rights.

Thank you for asking. We will soon be post a video about restoring firearm rights in Tennessee. We get a lot of questions from those wanting to purchase guns in TN... which makes sense, it is a great state for hunting. WeI will try to post a detailed answer to this question in the next few days.

thank you for you quick reply , and i greatly look forward to seeing this video

do you have a email or a way to contact ?

check Tennesse law, but I'm guessing you can own muzzle loading rifles and shotguns and black powder handguns. Go to cabelas and see if they ship to your state. no ffl needed.

There have been major additions to the list of offenses that can be expunged in Tennessee, and the process has been simplified and made more affordable as well. It's very likely that all you need to do is file your paperwork and make an appearance in the court in which you recieved sentencing, largely a formality if you you qualify. Any local attorney should be able to handle this for you if you're uncomfortable with the process, it can be daunting for the uninitiated. (Just keep in mind its just a big show for all intents and purposes, everybody in and around it puts on thier pants just like you do, its a long way from St. Peter and the pearly gates)

George Mickens a charge is nothing but if you where convicted of that charge then yea you can't

Hopefully you will find Jesus the real light and leave the Masons. You can't serve two masters.

LOL scumbag.

Threewolf Robinson if I was on deferred adjudication probation and completed it are my firearm rights barred also

@@freddygonzalez6551 if it says delinquent you should be good

John Bonsey what was on your record ?

Jordan Hess! Second degree burglary. It was a wobbler. So I was eligible for a felony reduction to a misdemeanor, under penal code 17b which Higbee and Associates told me I can restore my gun rights.

Thanks for the reply !

Your welcome Jordan Hess! Good luck and God Bless you and your family😇🙏👼👍

That is a question of Missouri state law. We are not licensed in MO and it is out of our expertise. REPLY

if you didnt get convicted of the charges then your good. go to the store a try to buy one all they can say is yes or no

if you were never convicted of the crime you never lost your rights. just cause you went to jail and court dont mean nothing if you were not found guilty of the crime you were arrested for

That is a question of Virginia state law. We are not licensed in VA and it is out of our expertise.

Sorry, we do not practice in Georgia.

Thank you for commenting Cliff. I think you are asking why Congress does not want to allow felons to restore their firearm rights. It is a good question, especially because many felony offenses are non-violent or are much less predictive of whether a person will misuse a firearm than many misdemeanor offenses or other information available about people. The ban on gun ownership should be narrowed and it should allow a means for people to have them restored.

Not yet. We plan to start this summer.

Yes, we have helped many people get their gun rights restored after being convicted of what a state calls domestic violence. We have never attempted it in Virginia. The key things to look for is (1) if the elements of the offense for which you were convicted meet all of the elements of the federal definition of domestic violence, if not, the federal ban should not apply to you and (2) does the state that convicted you (a) take away your rights for your conviction and (b) provide a way for you to have those rights restored, if so, there is a way for you to restore your rights.

RecordGone.com so after their rights were restored were they able to purchase a firearm without going through a bunch of trouble with the federal government that's the question? I personally use your guyses Law Firm got a restoration order from Pierce County Superior Court but now I'm afraid when they run a background check they're going to see the conviction and deny me to purchase. And then ultimately I could be charged with an additional crime. Well that's at least how I understand it.

It might be. We would need to research your case. Please read about our firearm rights evaluation service at www.recordgone.com/restoration_gun_rights.htm

did they say why you were?? could just been that day and time they might not been able to clear the info. go try again and see as sometimes the computer system is down and denies everyone

Cc Bb If you have a conviction in Washington for a domestic-violence misdemeanor, you may be able to have a court restore your rights under Washington law to possess firearms. But federal authorities may not recognize the Washington court order, so you could be in a position where your possession of firearms does not violate Washington state law, but does violate federal law. Before giving up hope of ever owning a gun again, take a close look at whether your conviction truly fits the federal definition of “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.” The federal definition is much narrower than the definition appearing in Washington law. To put things a little differently, an offense classified as a DV offense under Washington law may not be classified as a DV offense under federal law. In that situation, if your Washington gun rights are restored there is no prohibition on your right to possess firearms. For example, in order to qualify under federal law as a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,” an element of the crime must be the use of force or the threat to use force (such as an assault). Thus, if your conviction is for violating a protection order, it does not prohibit your possession of firearms under federal law, because one can commit the offense without using force (by telephoning the protected person, for example). The other critical difference between the Washington and federal laws on domestic violence is the nature of the relationship between the offender and the crime victim. Again, the federal definition is much narrower. Under federal law, an offense is categorized as a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” if the offender and victim are related as spouses, parent and child, guardian and ward, cohabitants, or people who have a child in common. Under Washington law, the category includes people in a “dating relationship,” siblings, roommates, and others. Thus, for example, a brother-against-brother assault is a DV offense under Washington law, but not under federal law. The person convicted of a brother-against-brother misdemeanor assault will lose his gun rights under Washington law. If obtains an order from a Washington court that restores his firearm rights, he will face no problem with federal authorities. Unfortunately there is no good solution right now for the most typical case: a misdemeanor assault committed by one spouse against another. In that case, a restoration of Washington rights will not be recognized by authorities as a restoration of federal rights. Curiously, federal authorities will almost always recognize a restoration of Washington rights which were lost due to a felony conviction. In this situation, a person convicted of a more serious offense has an advantage over someone convicted of a less serious offense. Go figure!

del78959 No.

Richard Maldonado If you've got your Civil Rights reinstated, your gun rights should automatically be overturned. I'd double check. And if not, you have a great chance of getting the gun rights back due to your Civil Rights reinstated.

Send in Restoration of firearms, pardons are few and rare.

It's called Civil Privileges not rights! In reality nobody take you Private Rights away from someone .

I had an assault charge felony in 94. I applied in 2016 for a firearm. I was approved. It may have to do that I have a bachelors in Justice corrections administration. Who knows

I know in indiana a pardon doesn't give you your gun rights back, but a expungement or firearm rights restoration will. Then again the FBI had said a while back, indianas expungement is not recognized as a true expungement since the courts and law enforcement can still see your record as of June 1 2015. I got mine done in September 2015, but they haven't said anything about me owning guns

I'm not 100% sure what happened but I think they really tried to screw me over

@@keekz510 no you good. you did see a judge so you wernt convicted

Thank you for asking. Sounds like you are doing some great things with your life now. We would love to help you. I would need several more details before we could give you a meaningful answer. Please see this page for more information. www.recordgone.com/restoration_gun_rights.htm

We would be glad to attempt to answer you firearm rights restoration question. Can you tell me in what state this occurred?

Pennsylavaina

Pennsylavania

If its a felony, yep. However that offense should be one that qualifies to be expunged. Check findlaw.com for your states laws regarding that process..

go to the store and fill out the paper work

It depends on what state your conviction was in, what it was for and where you want to possess a firearm. I suggest signing up for our evaluation. Please see this page for more information: www.recordgone.com/restoration_gun_rights.htm

Yes, we are licensed in California and have several offices in the state.

Congratulations on your expungement. We are not licensed in Louisiana, so we cannot advise you about Louisiana law. I recommend contacting the attorney who helped with your expungement.

No, any assault that meets the federal definition. You have to look at the relationship to the victim and the nature of the violence or threat.

RecordGone.com ok thanks. Reason im asking is because of a man in va applied for a gun permit and was denied because of a simple assault charge from way over 30 years ok. I just trying to figure that out.

If the elements of your offense met the federal definition of domestic violence, it is unlikely that you will ever get your rights back Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(33)) defines domestic violence as: "has, as an element, the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabiting with or has cohabited with the victim as a spouse, parent, or guardian, or by a person similarly situated to a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim."

Yes, we do. We are licensed in OH and frequently handle cases in Ohio.

The cost depends on how many states a re involved in your analysis. Typically, the current price for a lawyer to perform the firearm rights restoration analysis is $350.

A couple states allow for restoration of Firearm Rights, even for those with a federal felony. www.recordgone.com/gun-rights-restoration-analysis.htm

I went through the gun rights restoration through your website subsequently received a gun rights restoration order by the Pierce County Superior Court, but now I'm concerned that when I go to buy one I'll be breaking the law if I'm denied by the feds. If the state restores my rights to own and possess a firearm then why would the federal government deny? should I go down and try to obtain a concealed weapons permit?

Wow! Congrats Justin. Do you mind sharing how you did that and how long it took to get restoration? And what State was this done? You just gave me hope again.

Clif 4533 I hired recordgone and within a month to a month and a half it was completed. And this took place in Washington State. I have not tried to go purchase one though. rumor all over the internet has it that they will not recognize a Washington state court order. Unfortunately there is no good solution right now for the most typical case: a misdemeanor assault committed by one spouse against another. In that case, a restoration of Washington rights will not be recognized by authorities as a restoration of federal rights. Curiously, federal authorities will almost always recognize a restoration of Washington rights which were lost due to a felony conviction. In this situation, a person convicted of a more serious offense has an advantage over someone convicted of a less serious offense. Go figure!

In some very rare instances, it is possible to restore a firearm rights after a domestic violence conviction. If I knew what state, I might be able to give you a quick answer.

Indiana received conviction in 1994, Also could you tell me if I may own black powder arms? I looked it up and must say it is confusing, Thank you for the response my friend.

Indiana in 1994

It's illegal to restrict a right in the first place. It's called constitutional treason.

@@guardsmanom134 no it's called Marbury vs Madison.

@@mr_imperfectiongamingchann1962 it's called, if you're incapable of understanding the 2A, then don't speak on the subject. The second amendment clearly states, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Marbury vs. Madison is a perfect example of infringement.

@@guardsmanom134 the supreme court is the highest court of the land pick up a book and read.

Man this really stinks, because i made one bad choice i can't defend myself. Its dangerous where i live I've been robbed at gun point multiple times i was stabbed at the world series in front of my 6 year old, when the royals won and i wasnt able to do nothin but bleed.😳 I hope im here to raise my babies. Frfr

I am not aware of any state's law giving preferential treatment to disable veterans when it comes to restoration of firearm rights. I know some states have special courts and remedies to handle sentencing and expungement related matters involving veterans.

Yes, we have offices in California (as well as 17 other states). California law has a 10 year prohibition for that offense. Assuming that the victim was not one that would make this offense meet the federal definition of domestic violence, you should get your gun rights back after 10 years.

She was my ex wife does that land in a federal restriction

mrlara57 yes you guys were married

abdul-aziz Khalil really it worked for you? Cool

That is a complex question that will require a few follow-up questions (such as in what state do you need firearm rights restored) and a bit of research about the law now and as it was when you were convicted. We would be glad to do whatever we could to get your firearm rights restored. It starts by hiring us to perform our Firearm Right Analysis service so we can see what is possible.

RecordGone.com How much is it to do this research?

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, your experience is no as uncommon as it should be. You should have received a letter from the DOJ that explained the appeal process. The video above describes our firearm rights restoration evaluation service, we would be glad to evaluate your case and give you a quote on handling the appeal.

Leave the United States of BULLSHIT

Yes, in some circumstances gun rights can be restored in Michigan. However, Michigan is more difficult or restrictive than most states.

Why you say that enlighten me because we have a penal code 28.424 that restores your rights after a certain time depending on felony type

Also Michigan is a shall issue state

your ppl dont know shit argued about being able to have my gun rights restored in indiana with a DV charge he told me i cant and told me in indiana i cant petition to have them restored called other lawyers they said it shouldnt b a problem since its been 15yrs yall lost my money went with a different lawyer

Hey friend I'm also in Indiana could you point me in the direction of the lawyer? Also how much does he/she charge? I'm hearing anywhere from 1500 to 2500

Sorry, we do not serve the state of Georgia at this time. Please contact an attorney in Georgia.

Tom Hartig You must wait over 5 Years, then you are clear.

Your question points out that a person can lose their firearm rights for things other than having a criminal record. The answer to your question will depend on the facts and the law of the particular state and that law is impacted, if at all, by federal law.

divineiamking Yes you can.

MAN OF VALOR wise man but it's kept in secret

if u do a crime and claim Sovereignty and say it is not a crime under your rights as Sovereignty you will be right in jail with all the rest. as long as your in the usa you obey there rules no matter what you try to claim you will always be wrong. Sovereignty doesnt work in no court, ive seen it tried many times and failed each time. he only way for it to work is for you to buy land and claim it as its own nation with its own law. but then it only applies while you are on your land in your nation. when you leave your land you are under there rules till you go back to your land so cant win

Only a U.S. citisen on U.S. soil, may be entitled to the rights and responsibilities defined by the U.S. Constitution. MEANING if you renounce your citizenship, but remain on American soil, you have less rights, than a cockroach. I have tried the sovereign citizens thing, and it only works one way. You state that you're an American citisen, and a Constitutionally protected sovereign citisen of the United States of America. Sovereignty defined here as the empowered citisen, being armed with the knowledge contained within the United States Constitution. That's the only way it works. And you need to know 100%, how the Constitution works in your favor. Otherwise, this nation will only recognize you as, POW.

@@bigsean2473 that only works if you purchase land outside of the continental United States.

Whether a person "should" need it or not, the reality it is, people do.
