Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire TOTALLY SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Nov of 1994 I was guilty of a misdomenior disorderly conduct/domestic violence charge, a one time in my life of 42 years, I am 60 now and none before or after that. I just found out due to the Brady Law that went into effect in Nov 1998, I can not leagally purchase, own or posses a firearm or ammunition. There is no resolve from this as a state pardon or a federal resturation of rights from the Dept of ATF. Any others here or advice would be appreciated, I think the ACLU maybe my only possible option.

If it cant be expunged, is a move to another state in the cards?

Dude that sucks. Adam

If it's not resolved, I don't think muzzle-loaders are classified as "firearms" in most states, so you could probably still hunt.

No it is Federal law and shows up in the FBI NCIS back ground check when you go to purchase a fire arm, funny thing it does not show up in a CCap check and it took the Clerk of Courts 45 minutes to find it when I wanted a copy of the charge.

I don't think there is much you can do. Talk to a lawyer who is familiar with the charge.

Send a cash contribution to the Governor, and ask for a pardon..may take a bit, but I`m told it works.
Send along any good stuff you have done in the mean time.

Good luck with the ACLU! If it has to do with gun rights they won't touch it with a 10' pole.

I have heard of guys getting things expunged from their records, but it costs money.

get a savage 10ml II


or become a cop- they get to possess weapons with domestic violence records in their past

actually I think it's preferred

From the state pardon rules and regs
If I receive a pardon, what rights will I regain?
A person convicted of a felony in Wisconsin loses the right to vote, Wis. Stat. � 6.03(1)(b); to serve on a jury,
Wis. Stat. � 756.02; to hold public office, Wis. Const. Art. XIII, � 3(2), (3); to hold or be granted various
licenses (for example, alcohol and tobacco licenses), Wis. Stat. � 125.04(5)(b) & � 139.34(1); and to possess
firearms, Wis. Stat. � 941.29. The right to vote and the right to sit on a jury are automatically restored by the
Department of Corrections once a person completes his/her sentence, including probation, parole or extended
supervision. Wis. Stat. � 304.078(3).
A person who receives a pardon generally regains the right to:
� hold public office
� hold or be granted various licenses, which is specifically addressed below
� possess firearms
However, your firearm rights will not be restored if you have been convicted of a domestic violence
misdemeanor. 18 U.S.C. � 922(g). If you have been convicted as a felon in possession of a firearm, you must
receive a pardon for both your first underlying felony conviction and the felon in possession of a firearm
conviction in order to legally possess a firearm.
Constructed from the Federal law. I have talked to the NRA and an attorney they tell me I am screwed too, NRA said muzzle loaders are concidered a firearm and is trying to get that change as a foot in the door on this so we can still hunt.

Not to sound like a jerk, but it looks like you might be SOL.

It says right there, domestive violence = no gun.

Ever done any bowhunting?

Hire a lawyer knowledgeable in the field who can look at the statute under which you were convicted and the record of your conviction and determine if it meets the predicate offense requirements of the federal firearm disability statute. If it does, you have a problem. If not, you still may have a legal fight to get the record cleared up.

you can beat your dog
you can beat your wife
you can beat your meat

but.......

you can't beat a good blow job

wtf?????
bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!





sounds like the op
needs to take up muzzleloading and bowhunting in all reality

Gun Show loophole.

How can your misdemeanor be viewed as a felony?

[bleep]...catch me if you can!

the all encompassing lautenberg federal stuff over ruling state stuff more than likely

It is not a felony, but here is the part I believe that you missed...
