Can a person get their gun rights back after a domestic violence conviction?
YesYou must be kidding!!! Under federal law, 18 USC 921 (33), any person convicted of a domestic violence (DV) charge, felony or misdemeanor, is not allowed to own any firearm. There is an exception if the charge is vacated under state law, and the state law is either silent about or allows the restoration of firearm rights. Check with your state. I am working on a case now in which there was a conviction under the DV charge, the case was reopened and the charge was reduced to a minor misdemeanor that would not affect gun ownership. The state agency said no, and the person is incarcerated facing unlawful possession charges, a felony. You must check with your state law, it would b advisable to contact an attorney in your state to find out if your right can be restored to avoid a possible prison term for a serious felony.
