Felons with Guns. Advice...

You do NOT need a lawyer. Go to the Parole website, follow the links, follow the instructions. Ultimately, it comes down to a Parole Officer (Or DCS Officer) processing your request. If the criminal history is clean for five years, and the original conviction isn't terribad, the rights will be restored. If the restoration is declined, appeal to the Chief where the paperwork is processed (most likely the county of residence).

Try this FREE approach first. Then seek out lawyer help, if needed.

What is a Restoration of Civil and Political Rights? A Restoration of Civil and Political Rights is an order restoring the rights which are lost in Georgia upon conviction. These include the right to run for and hold public office, to sit on a jury, and to serve as a Notary Public. Restoration of Civil and Political Rights does not automatically include the right to possess, own or carry a firearm; it must be specifically granted by the Board.

Is a Restoration of Civil and Political Rights a separate process from a Restoration of Firearm Rights? Yes, these are different processes. If you would like to have your firearm rights restored, you must check the line on the application for “Restoration of Right to Receive, Possess or Transport in Commerce a Firearm” and meet the applicable requirements. A personal interview will be required for firearm restorations.

Parents should make their kids read this post. Might save some kid from doing the same thing.

Can't just anybody buy one at a gunshow? Isn't that what the gumshow loophole is for? Lol

Hopefully she can get it all taken care of. Good luck.

Or just order one in the mail?

No, we're not talking about freedom. We're talking about a felon REQUESTING to have rights restored that those of us who ARE NOT felons take for granted.

why is it tough?
get HER to go to the Local Sheriff office/ DA Office, explain the situation and see if she has a felony on her record.
if so then she will need to get it over turned or forgiven by the Court system.
She will need to do it as its personal info.
