PA First Degree Misdemeanor

[duhunter]

Hello all,
I have been doing some reading on this subject as it now affects me. I have found extensive suggestions, mainly expungement and pardons, for restoring gun rights. I have not read any success stories. I am wondering if anyone has succeeded in restoring gun rights (through any means) after a DUI related conviction of a first degree misdemeanor in Pennsylvania?

I would appreciate any info on the subject.

Thanks

A pardon+expungement is what you will need.

A lawyer that frequents this site has obtained these for some of his clients.

Don't expect to be considered for a pardon until several years have passed since you completed all terms of your conviction. ...like probation/parole, community service, all fines paid, and any classes you have to take. Figure about 10 years after all those are complete that they will consider you for a pardon(unless you do some heroic act lol). Your case will also be helped by having a job and paying your taxes, not having any civil claims pending against you, no further convictions, and being an upstanding individual in your community.
