This video from Washington Gun Law TV discusses a significant development regarding the restoration of federal Second Amendment rights for individuals with felony convictions. President William Kirk explains how the Department of Justice has refunded 18 U.S. Code § 925(c), creating a mechanism for individuals to apply for federal rights restoration. The process involves state-level restoration, federal application, and consideration of public safety and public interest, with waiting periods based on offense type.
This video explains the complex process of restoring firearm rights in Washington State after a domestic violence misdemeanor conviction. It highlights that while state restoration might be possible after three years, federal restoration, crucial for passing NICS checks, requires an order of vacation. This vacation process is complicated by potential five-year probation periods for domestic violence offenses, extending the total restoration timeline to ten years in some cases, making it more challenging than restoring rights after a Class C felony.
