Restoring Your Right to Possess a Firearm in Pennsylvania

RecordGone.com has posted a useful article about how to restore your right to possess a firearm in Pennsylvania.

The Gun Control Act of 1968, a Federal law, prohibits anyone who has been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor punishable by more than two years in prison, or a domestic-violence misdemeanor from purchasing or possessing a firearm. This ban does not include any convictions that have been expunged, set aside, pardoned, or for which the person has had his civil rights restored.  Civil rights means the right to vote, run for office, and serve on a jury.  Pennsylvania state law also prohibits anyone who has been convicted of certain crimes from purchasing or possessing a firearm.

Therefore, if you were convicted of a felony and lost the right to serve on a jury or hold public office and have not been granted a pardon, then the federal law will prohibit you from owning or possessing a firearm even if a Pennsylvania court restores your firearm rights.  If your convictions are not eligible for judicial expungement at this time and the federal firearm prohibition applies, the only way for you to fully restore your gun rights is to apply for and receive a pardon from the governor of Pennsylvania.
