No. I think the Lautenberg Act of 1996 covers this.
Extremely unlikely.
All persons convicted of felonies are excluded from voting in the US. (Unless they have their rights restored.)
Yes!
You can submit a petition/motion to the court asking that your rights be restored. (WHAT 'RIGHTS' ARE YOU REFERRING TO?) If it is owning a firearm, forget it. Convicted felons may not EVER own or possess a firearm. (Federal Code, USC, Title 18.)
Having it expunged doesn't restore your firearms rights - you remain a convicted felon, and thus, are prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law. If it is only a felony at the state level, it MIGHT be possible to have your firearms rights restored. You'll need a lawyer to give you a more insightful answer here. If it's a federal felony, you can pretty much forget it.
A convicted felon can vote in Georgia if his or her rights have been restored by the court system. Part of the punishment issued when a person commits a felony is the removal of the right to vote.
Convicted felons can sometimes get their gun rights restored. Check with a local attorney familiar with the process.
Probably not. If the only thing restored was voting rights, that doesn't include the right to own a gun. You should probably check with your attorney.
That IS the point. It is only CONVICTED felons that forfeit some of their rights, not misdemeanor offenders.
A pardon won't get your firearms rights restored. You still remain convicted of the charge.
Basically, forever. If you have a felony on your record, you cannot own or possess a gun. You can sometimes have some rights restored, but you should check with a local attorney for more information.
Yes, there apparently IS a process to restore gun rights to SOME convicted felons. You will have to contact local authorities for more information.
