To get started on your gun rights restoration journey, contact King Law Offices today at 888-748-KING (5464). Without getting a pardon, the only way to have your right to own firearms restored is if the conviction is for a single nonviolent felony.In this state, non-violent felons can regain their firearms rights as soon as they complete their sentences. Although uprisings against the kings guaranteed them some rights to keep and bear arms, American colonists also had a healthy fear of a monarchy disarming them. If you commit a felony in Michigan, you will lose you 2nd Amendment rights for a certain amount of time. The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. Just as in Minnesota, violent felons in Ohio are allowed to apply for restoration of firearms rights after completing their sentences. Section 922(g) is the law that prohibits felons, and certain other groups, from possessing firearms.
