Expert Advice When You Need It Most

If you apply for a full restoration to obtain your gun rights back ..

But the federal law will still prevents me from owning a firearm for a lifetime then why bother. Will they at least consider me than? I have a felony gun and drug charge in GA. It has been over 5 year since i was released from parole.But now i am clean and doing well for myself owning two business and rental homes. Will they consider giving me gun right back knowing i need to protect myself from a robbery where i will be handling money all day?

No, under federal law you are banned from gun ownership for life. As far as I know there are no ifs ands or buts about it. I had a client who collected rent in cash and carried a gun to protect himself. Eventually he killed two men in self-defense circumstance that the DA felt were questionable and is now serving 60 years to life. I know many cash landlords who get on just fine without a gun. You may want to rethink this.
