    Getting my 2nd Amendment rights back

    Hi all, my first post here.

    Just want to know if I stand a chance of getting my 2nd Amendment rights back? Never new I lost them until about 8 years ago and did not have funds to fight it. I have spent over 32 years in the military both active and reserve, qualified with M14, M16, 12 Ga, 45 auto & 9mm. Back in 2004 I was purchasing a pistol from a pawn shop and got popped on the background check. Prior to this (2000 & before) I had purchased a few WWI & WWII rifles from Sporting Goods stores with no trouble at all.

    Years ago, back in 1978, a friend and myself had made two pipe bombs and set them off in a Wildlife park at night in Southern California, ruined two trash cans, no injuries. I was convicted of a Misdemeanor #12303.3, fined $172.00, one day in jail, my firearms rights were not revoked. I know currently this same offense carries a Felony conviction with a 3-6 year prison term. A year later I joined the military.

    So, are my firearms rights finished?

    contact a firearms specialist attorney.

    this website is an excellent source to do so.

    i am a legend in my own mind...

    we are told not to judge muslims by what a few do...yet, the NRA membership and firearms owners are ALL considered as radical...

      Start by requesting a copy of your criminal record.
      You can take that to an attorney for a consultation.

        "Popped" for what? On the DROS, I assume - what did DOJ tell you? They might not just have the courts disposition on file.

        You need to know what and why you were denied for...

          This, exactly. Then consult with one of the attorneys listed at http://calgunsfoundation.org/hotline.
