Pics denied me how do I get my gun rights back

[ebailey72282]

After talking to a trooper who informed if I wasn't ever charged with felonies or involuntarily committed to a mental institution I should be ok to purchase a firearm. Went to buy one today and the national database was ok but pics denied me. After reading the challenge paperwork I can only assume it's because of a party when I was younger and got corruption of minors do to a friend's brother. Now let's note that was 13 years ago. Any advice on what I need to do to get my rights back. I'd like to be able to go hunting with my son's.

Corruption of minors is a misdemeanor 1. Unless its has to do with truancy, One can't own , buy, handle a firearm with that charge. Once it's on your criminal record it's there for life. You might be violation already if you tried to buy a gun and failed the PICs. Talking to an attorney might be a good idea.

The age of the incident does not matter, it doesn't go away over time. A governor's pardon would likely be your only recourse and that will take a few years but you may want to go that route. It is not impossible for you to process your own pardon but you may want to have a lawyer do it for you to avoid making any mistakes, that's your call.

You need a lawyer right now. And one that specializes in this field. Right now, not tomorrow.

Contact a Second Amendment lawyer - Phil Kline aka Gunlawyer here on this forum comes to mind.

look into the "clean slate" thing that Gov Wolfe is bragging about.. M1 or less and no trouble with the law for at least 10 years.

I thought corruption of minors had to do with convictions that involved sexual offenses against minors which I believe is a felony not a misdemeanor.

I see, so as an example lets say somebody over 18 robs a store and they've got an accomplice who is under 18. The robber who is over 18 would be charged with corrupting a minor in addition to robbing the store.

get a hold of a lawyer like everyone else said I had something similar that had to get rectified. I can vouch for Gunlawyer AKA Phil Kline as that's who I used to get it squared away. All good now.
