The simple answer is that you don't. The state doesn't matter - the Lautenburg Amendment is a matter of federal law, and applies to all states and territories of the United States.

Doubtful. You can give it a try with an attorney, but be prepared to find out the answer is still no.Additional: No. It is prohibited by federal law - the Lautenberg Amendment to the Federal Firearms act of 1968. It specifically prohibits ANYONE who was ever convicted of domestic violence from ever possessing a firearm.See below link:

How do you get gun rights back after domestic violence charge in ca?
Possible is the correct word. It will require a pardon from the Governor of California. Start by hiring an attorney- you will first need to petition the Superior Court for a Certificate of Rehabilitation. If granted, that becomes a petition for pardon from the Governor. It is his decision ONLY whether a pardon should be granted.
How do you get your gun rights back in state of KY?
Well, the best way is to not do something which will get them taken away in the first place. If that option is exhausted, then it's going to depend on the specifics of your situation. If you were adjudicated mentally defective, discharged from the military under dishonourable conditions, or have been convicted of any crime of domestic violence (felony or misdemeanor), or have been convicted of any federal felony, your only real option in those instances... is no option at all. On the other hand, if you lost your gun rights for something which was a felony only at state level (and wasn't related to domestic violence), there is hope. It's going to require you to apply for relief of disability with the state of KY.

How do you get your gun rights back in state of Colorado?
Well, it all depends on your situation. If you've convicted of something which is a felony only at state level, and NOT a federal felony, it MIGHT be possible to have your gun rights restored. You need the services of a lawyer, and there is no guarantee. If your felony conviction was a federal felony, your chances are more or less nil. If you've been convicted of a crime of domestic violence or something drug related - whether felony or misdemeanor - that further reduces your chances of being able to have your gun rights restored. Again, you need the services of a lawyer here, who can be privy to the exact details of your situation, and can make a determination as to the feasibility of trying to have your gun rights restored.
