FAQ
The Second Amendment is a contentious topic. Some people believe it provides people with an absolute right to own weapons. Others argue that its text limits the right to bear arms to purposes related to serving in a state militia.
However, U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) established that the Second Amendment applies to all states within the Union, and many of California's gun laws are now being challenged in the federal courts.
If you are convicted of a felony in the United States, even a non-violent felony, then you will permanently lose your right to keep and possess firearms. This is probably the most well-known way to lose your Second Amendment rights and covers a broad swath of actions that could lead to a ban on your gun ownership.
The decision insisted that many types of gun control laws are presumptively lawful, including bans on possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, bans on concealed carry, bans on dangerous and unusual weapons, restrictions on guns in sensitive places like schools and government buildings, and commercial sale ...
Concealed carry is only legal with a California Concealed Carry Weapons License (CCW). The minimum age is 18 years old, although a licensing authority has the discretion to require applicants to be older than 18 years of age.
Writing for the majority, Justice Scalia noted: “Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.”
Pardon from California Governor There is only one relatively certain way to restore your federal gun rights: obtain a pardon. Pardons can be obtained from either the Governor of California or the President of the United States.
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.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
