Restoring Gun Rights

Consult With a Lawyer to Restore Your Gun Rights

Although the right to bear arms as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution is widely seen as protecting the private right to own a gun, federal law and most states strip convicted felons of gun rights. In some situations, a domestic violence conviction, a restraining order or a diagnosis of mental illness years ago can affect your right to own a gun.

If you need advice about the best ways to restore your gun rights, contact the law firm of Seymour I. Amster, Attorney at Law. We offer free consultations at any of our locations in Southern California — we're convenient to clients throughout Southern California.

There are many approaches that can be utilized to help a client restore gun rights. The first has to do with overcoming the legal circumstances that affect your right to possess a firearm. We might be able to get an old criminal case dismissed, or reduce a felony conviction to a misdemeanor. If there's a domestic violence restraining order outstanding against you, we may be able to get it vacated or modified. By reopening an old cases and presenting your case to a judge, we may be able to restore your right to possess a firearm.

The other approach has to do with overcoming the stigma that clings to ex-offenders and former mental patients. We gather evidence to show that the circumstances that prevent you from possessing a gun no longer apply. We show that it would be unfair not to restore your right to possess a gun for lawful purposes.

Clients of our law firm appreciate our energetic and individualized approach to their problems. We have long experience with both the criminal and civil aspects of guns and weapons of all kinds, and we can help you as well.
