A domestic violence conviction(not a felony)will also prevent one from owning a gun.[:(]

imay not know it all.....but at least I know that!0 -
Some states give a provinsional pardon, but it has to reviewed, a set number of years must elapse, sign off by corrections, goverenor, ect. It varies from state to state and year to year. As the others have said, he's pretty much screwed, as a felony is just that, there are no gradations of offense in this. He has to have had his full citizen rights restored. 0 -
The government has revealed its true feelings about citizens and gun ownership by passing that prohobition against even a low-level, strictly non-violent felony (like cheatin on your income tax) as a reason to deny you the right for life to ever again possess not only a firearm but even one round of ammo.
In a resonable and logical world, what connection to possible gun violence is there in relation to a minor, non-violent felony?
I see no cause and effect or linkage here now would most reasonable people if they thought about it.
BTW I am not any kind of criminal, felony or anything else. So I am not worried about myself. I just can smell something when it stinks.0 -
Agreed[:(!]

It is true. Gun confiscation has begun. First, all felons denied gun ownership. Then, any "domestic violence" violator denied. Who will the next group be? I am looking for drunk drivers to be next.0 -
In my State, Drunk Drivers with a Concealed Carry Permit forfeit their Carry Permit when they are charged with that offense. What happened to the "Innocent until proven Guilty in a Court of Law" concept? Shouldn't they be allowed to keep it until proven Guilty?
When proven Guilty, the arduous process of trying to get it back is allowed to begin, but without much encouragement and many restrictions which tend to keep it from happening.
If found to be Not Guilty, it is returned to the Permit Holder. So, it appears to me this "Class" of person is also beginning to lose his "gun rights!" Now, Who Is Next????
Henry Ford stated: "There is no one more useless than a Convict, except perhaps, those that guard him." This was his reason NOT to hire either one!0 -
If you can afford to hire a lawyer, or are very persistent, it is possible to administratively obtain restoration of full citizen rights, especially if the offense was minor.
These legal matters are complex. There is a recent case involving a gun dealer who has spent considerable money trying to recover his rights, following a felony conviction in Mexico for having a few rounds of ammo in his car.

That Texas gun dealer's case went to the US Supreme Court, and he lost. His was a federal case, and this case proves that there is no restoration of gun rights on the federal level.
However, if a citizen is convicted of a state crime, and that state restores his firearms rights, as well as ALL OTHER rights of citizenship such as right to vote etc, then the feds will not interfere with his state approved right to have a firearm.
It is very complicated indeed.
But the picture is clear. Year by year another group is marginalized, until very few will still have firearms rights.0
