Question
i was convicted as a felon in 2004 got out did 3 years on parole got off 6 months early for good behavior I've been off parole for 1 year how long do i have to wait to try and get my rights to bare arms back

Answer
This is the Second Amendment topic, Quentin, not a Criminal Justice topic, #1, and. #2, as we all serve here pro bono publico, it's not appropriate to request what is essentially a "private consultation." Want one of those? Make an appointment with a lawyer and pay his or her fee.

You don't say what state you're in, so it's difficult for anyone to answer your question.

Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction and they will tell you how you might proceed to regain your right to again bear (preferred spelling) arms.

If you're really asking about your right to bare arms, you never lost it… all you have to do is take your shirt off.

I can answer questions about Handguns, Rifles, Ammunition, the Firearms Industry, the "gunzine game," practical accessories for self-defense (CCW) handguns; rumor control on firearms myths, errata on the "gunshop grapevine."

I am NOT an Attorney, and nothing I provide here should be relied upon as legal advice. Therefore, please do NOT make inquiries about Criminal Justice issues... this is the Second Amendment topic.

Nor do I do "Private Consultations." Want to made it "private," retain an attorney.
