To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been acquited or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do research to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc).
Hire a NC attorney to file for restoration of rights.
If you are a federally convicted felon there is no way. No mechanism exists to restore firearm rights to convicted federal felons.If you are state convicted - it depends entirely on which state you live in and/or which state convicted you. SOME states will restore limited firearm rights - others will not restore them at all.Your best course of action is contact an attorney in your state for consultation.
Lots of patience, one or more very, very, good lawyers, 100k cash to start and be prepared to be disappointed.
How di you get gun rights back in the state of California
Depends. Serving time does not matter, the conviction does. If you were convicted of a felony violation of Federal law, there is no realistic way to have firearm rights restored. If you were convicted of a violation of state law, there may be. You will need to consult an attorney- process varies state to state.
No. It is a crime under state + federal law for a felon to be in possession of any firearm.
You WILL need the services of an attorney that practices in the State of South Carolina, and to have completed any period of parole or probation. The attorney can help you file a pettition for a restoration of firearm rights. This applies to a conviction for violating STATE laws. There is no process for a conviction for violation of FEDERAL law.
YesYou must be kidding!!! Under federal law, 18 USC 921 (33), any person convicted of a domestic violence (DV) charge, felony or misdemeanor, is not allowed to own any firearm. There is an exception if the charge is vacated under state law, and the state law is either silent about or allows the restoration of firearm rights. Check with your state. I am working on a case now in which there was a conviction under the DV charge, the case was reopened and the charge was reduced to a minor misdemeanor that would not affect gun ownership. The state agency said no, and the person is incarcerated facing unlawful possession charges, a felony. You must check with your state law, it would b advisable to contact an attorney in your state to find out if your right can be restored to avoid a possible prison term for a serious felony.
they need to state that you are an honest and trustworthy person
have his criminal record expunged by an attorney.........................
A felon isn't going to be permitted a firearm for any reason.
You can get your rights back as a parent once you have come back to the country and state of Massachusetts.
