We have helped many, including convicted felons restore their right to own and possess firearms. A felony conviction will result in the suspension of Louisiana gun possession rights while on probation or parole for the felony.

A felony conviction or a domestic violence conviction results in a state and federal firearm ban. In the 1960s, that law was expanded to cover all felonies and certain misdemeanors: 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(1). The 1968 Gun Control Act and subsequent amendments codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq.
