Has a past criminal conviction prevented you from owning a firearm for years? If you’d like to own a firearm but have been convicted of a qualifying gun crime in Minnesota, you’ll need to work with a criminal defense lawyer to restore your gun rights. Here’s how that process works.
How to Restore Your Gun Rights
The process of requesting that your gun rights be restored is relatively straightforward, but that doesn’t mean everyone who petitions the court will have their request granted. It’s important to work with a firearm restoration attorney who understands how to create a compelling case. First, your attorney should gather court documents, criminal records, police reports, and information about why you’re seeking gun rights restoration. Based on this information, they will draft a petition that is filed with the court and a hearing date will be set.
On the date of your hearing, you will be accompanied by your attorney. You will have an opportunity to present your case to a judge. Once your hearing has been conducted, the judge will take the petition under advisement, make a decision, and notify you of the final outcome. The petition and hearing are both important components of a case like this, so it’s important to work with an attorney who has an understanding of the requirements and an idea of how a judge may feel about your case.
