Prop 47 Does Not Restore Firearm Rights A Prop 47 reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor will not restore your firearm rights. In order to restore your firearm rights, you will first need to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor for all purposes under Penal Code 17b, not Prop 47.
The Second Amendment Permits The Disarming of “Dangerous” Felons. Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). About 90% of those cases arose from gun possession by a felon.
18 U.S.C. 922(g) is the federal law that prohibits anyone ever convicted of any felony to ever possess any firearm either inside or outside of his home. The federal punishment for firearm possession by a felon is up to 10 years in prison.
You don't need an attorney! If you can fill out simple forms and provide copies of records then you can do it. I regained my firearm rights as well as acquired a concealed carry permit...all on my own. Just by following the steps required by the Commonwealth- all of which are available online.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
Loss of Voting Rights During Incarceration or On Parole Individuals currently serving a state or federal prison sentence for a felony conviction and those on parole are ineligible to register and vote in California.
The Constitution clearly states that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon, so why are convicted felons not permitted to own firearms? There is no constitutional authorization for it. It is unconstitutional.
Violates the Second Amendment There is growing disagreement among the federal appeals courts as to whether the federal ban on individuals convicted of a felony possessing firearms, found at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) and commonly known as the “felon-in-possession” prohibition, violates the Second Amendment.
