How does a convicted felon get gun rights back?

Answer 1

An executive order restoring citizenship rights to a felon does not authorize the felon to possess a firearm under Iowa law, unless the order explicitly states the person is authorized to do so. It is highly unlikely a felon will ever receive such authorization.

Answer 2

apply to the governor using the form at

but it takes 2 years

Answer 3

There is a method by which you can petition the Governor's office for the restoration of this privilege utilizing this information: call the Governor and Lt. Governor's office by phone at 515/281-3502 or

Answer 4

A convicted felon cant own a firearm in the United States.

I guess you could try to join the Army?........

--------------------------------------------

Added: In SOME states felons convicted of statecrimes can gain partial restoration of firearms privileges. However Federally convicted felons can NEVER regain firearms privileges. Congress has continuously failed to fund any federal process by which federally convicted felons can do so.

----------------------------------------------

Forget about joining the Army, they do not take felons.

Answer 5

First, we need to establish if we're talking about an actual ex-felon here, or just a felon ex-convict.
An ex-felon would have had their conviction overturned - hence, they would no longer be a felon, and restoring gun rights would be a simple matter of getting it on file.
In the case of a convicted felon who completed their sentence, they remain a felon. What's relevant here is if they're a state felon or a federal felon. Some states have crimes listed as felonies which are not felonies under federal law (e.g., multiple DUIs, child support payments, etc.). In the case of those, it is possible to apply for relief of disability - contact an attorney, and they get it sorted out from there. In the case of a federal felon, it refers to anyone convicted of something which was a crime under federal law - hence, it's a felony under state law, as well. There is no chance for relief of disability in those instances.

Answer 6

Start by hiring an attorney- you will need one to petition for restoration of rights. The process varies state to state.

Answer 7

It makes no difference in which state the felon resides, it is a violation of FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18) for convicted felons to ever own or possess firearms or ammunition.

Answer 8

He doesn't. If he's a convicted felon it probably means he is a colored man and therefore has no rights to anything.

Answer 9

Start by hiring an attorney to file a petition with the correct agency for a restoration of firearms rights. You WILL need an attorney.
