Having a felony conviction on your record can prevent you from owning a gun. However, there are certain steps you can take to restore your gun rights. The first step is to have your conviction expunged. This will prevent you from seeing your criminal record in public databases. This is also useful when applying for a loan or rental. You should also contact a gun lawyer for further information.
If you have been convicted of a violent crime, including murder or domestic assault, you can be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes being in the same house as a firearm or being in a vehicle that contains a firearm. However, some misdemeanor convictions, including firearm-related crimes, can also restrict your ability to own a gun.
People with mental health issues or those who have been in a mental institution can also be prohibited from owning a gun. This includes people who have a violent history or have been convicted of assault, child abuse or stalking.
In California, people who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from owning a gun for life. This is the same law that applies to people convicted of a dangerous weapon, although California laws can be more restrictive. This law also applies to people who are addicted to narcotics. If you are convicted of a violent crime or a dangerous weapon, it is extremely difficult to restore your gun rights. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor that carries a punishment of one to ten years in prison, you can apply for a pardon. This will help you restore your gun rights, but only if you can prove that you had good cause at the time of your conviction.
You can also restore your gun rights by applying for a Certificate of Relief From Disabilities. This will help you restore your gun rights, though it will not prevent you from being charged with a felony. You can also petition to have your felony reduced to a misdemeanor. You can also apply for a pardon from the Governor’s office.
If you have been convicted of an insanity offense, you are also subject to a lifetime ban on possession of firearms. This means you cannot own a firearm, regardless of whether or not you are mentally healthy. In addition, you are not allowed to sell any firearms or ammunition to someone who is mentally defective. You also cannot buy a gun from a person who has a narcotic addiction.
If you have been convicted of more than forty misdemeanors, you can apply to have your felony reduced to a lesser charge. The Circuit Court will hold a hearing to determine whether you have good cause. The Circuit Court has wide discretion in determining whether or not you have good cause. If you are found guilty of a felony, you will be ineligible for a Certificate of Relief From Disabilities or a gubernatorial pardon. If you apply for a Certificate of Relief From Disabilities, you may also apply for a gubernatorial pardon.
