They Vacated the decision
A vacated conviction means the conviction is set aside, in this case by a judge following legal guidelines. A pardon is a conviction set aside by an executive (Governor or President). A conviction can be nullified by executive order or judicial order.
The Federal law has an absolute prohibition of felons owning or even handling firearms According to Arizona law, you must have your felony conviction expunged, or set aside, in the jurisdiction you were convicted in. Once this is completed, you must petition to the court, a minimum of two years after the fines are paid, to restore your gun rights. If you possess a firearm without doing this, you will be charged with a felony.
A vacated conviction in WA State will set aside the disabilities imposed by the conviction. It replaces a guilty plea with a not guilty plea or a guilty conviction with a not guilty conviction. However, certain conditions must be met before a criminal conviction can be vacated.
Felony Charges Stay in your Specific State Permanently. They will also stay in your background for good too no matter if the Felony has been set aside from a Suspended Sentence or not. If you qualify under your state's law, you may want to try to get the Felony Charge Expunged later on down the road if you haven't committed any crime since the felony offense.
That depends on several factors. I have been convicted of a felony, and I currently own 3 firearms legally. I had my felony conviction set aside, all charges were dismissed (in Arizona), and ALL my rights were restored, even my right to own firearms; I have the document framed in my home office. There are levels of felonies where you will never be able to own a gun, such as violent crimes, sexual crimes, and the like. The fact is, you will need to do some research in the state laws and statutes for the state you hail from and possible even talk to a lawyer. They know a whole lot more than I ever could. Every state's law is different regarding the right to bear arms after receiving a felony conviction.
Present the request in the form of a "motion" to the Clerk of The Court who will 'file' it and put it on the court's docket for assignment to a judge.
A convicted felon can not own, possess, or carry a firearm. If possible, a set-aside or expungement should be explored with a competent attorney to have the firearms rights restored.
Yes http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(ve2ntjy21msh20q20u5tue45))/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-750-224f in short, a quick excerpt from the Michigan firearm law. I had to do this research myself because I too had a felony expunged from my record. 750.224F POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY PERSON CONVICTED OF A FELONY SHALL NOT POSSESS, USE, TRANSPROT, SELL, PURCHASE, CATTY, SHIP, RECIEVE, OR DISTRIBUTE A FIREARM IN THIS STATE UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF 3 YEARS AFTER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST: (4)This section does not apply to a conviction that has been expunged or set aside, or for which the person has been pardoned, unless the expunction, order, or pardon expressly privides that the person shall not possess a firearm.
A cleaning rod w/o attachment or an obstruction rod. It is a smart practice to carry an M16 cleaning kit just for this purpose aside from cleaning.
It depends on your state. And may even depend on your local community. If this is federal court it could vary depending on the district. If you know what state or district you're filing the document in, try Googling "motion to vacate" + "Illinois" + "state" for example.
