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. In both cases, discretion over whether to grant a pardon rests entirely with the chief executive.
Felons and Firearms Felons are allowed to associate with or be around someone who owns a gun, but these laws can get tricky. A convicted felon may be found guilty of “constructive possession” of a firearm if they knew that a firearm was in a home or residence and they could maintain control of the gun.
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.
Under federal law, felons are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms. Some states return a felon's civil rights to own a gun after serving their sentence or a waiting period. If you live with a felon, you have to make sure gun access is limited so they don't have constructive possession.
As long as your wife doesn't have any disqualifying reasons, she can own a firearm. The problem is, that as a convicted felon, you cannot own, use or possess a firearm. It's not just ownership - it's the ``possession'' that could hurt you.
In California, most convicted felons face a lifetime ban on owning firearms. However, in rare cases, gun rights may be restored after 10 years if the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor and meets specific criteria. This is generally uncommon, and most felons remain permanently barred from owning guns.
Gun laws in Indiana do not expressly prohibit the spouse of a felon from owning a firearm.
SB 731 California: What Employers Need to Know SB-731 goes into effect on July 1, 2023. When it does, prospective employers will no longer be able to uncover an applicant's past felony convictions (including those that involved a sentence to state prison) if the conviction meets the criteria mentioned above.
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.
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.

Being convicted of a crime under California State law can impact your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms under both California and federal law.However, many people are prohibited from possessing a gun in California. However, you might wonder: Can I restore my Second Amendment rights? In very select circumstances, the answer is yes. This law prohibits felons from owning, possessing, or purchasing firearms. However, don't lose hope. Domestic violence (DV) convictions strip you of your gun rights for life despite your Second Amendment protections. 18 United States Code 922(g) makes it a felony to ever possess a gun if you were convicted of a felony or domestic violence, even as a misdemeanor. Recovering Second Amendment rights for felons involves a complex legal landscape that varies across jurisdictions.
