The answer will depend on your specific crime and record. You should contact the US Attorney office in your area for assistance.

ADDED: Unless you were convicted in federal court of a federal offense - contacting the US Attorney will be of no help to you.

If you were convicted of a state offense; Petition the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court in which you were convicted. For further information - - see below link:

Can a separated spouse of a convicted felon purchase a firearm in the state of oklhoma?

The separated spouse of a convicted felon is not legally prohibited from purchasing a firearm. HOWEVER, if it is contemplated that the convicted felon may be anywhere around the firearm, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE IN THE SAME RESIDENCE, it will place the convicted felon in "concurrent possession" of that firearm and he may be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. ALSO: If the evidence suggests, the prosecution MAY try to prove that the separated spouse knowingly conspired to supply the availability of the firearm to the felon, and charge them as an accessory.


What degree is a stolen firearm?

(in the US) The degree of the crime is determined by the value of the item stolen, and whether or not it crosses the value line into being a felony offense. There is no specific criminal charge for theft of a firearm, unless a felon (or convicted felon) happens to be the one that steals it. Then the penalty is enhanced by the fact that this is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Can a convicted felon own a flare gun in Florida?

A "flare gun" while not normally considered to be a "firearm" of choice, IS, in fact, a firearm because it uses an explosive charge to fire and launch the flare projectile. At short range this could be a deadly weapon! Therefore, it IS a firearm under the meaning of USC Title 18, and its possession is prohibited to convicted felons.

Do the number of bullets shot off determine the sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon?

Sort of. Just possessing the firearm would be one charge, and another charge by discharging the firearm (assuming it is in violation of a statute). But discharging the firearm several times will more than likely increase the punishment. This depends on what he shot at and your state law. There is absolutely no way to know what someones punishment will be, there are just too many factors.
