FAQ

A Certificate of Relief from Civil Disabilities is a Certificate issued by a Court or the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision which restores a person's civil right following a conviction. It can also be used to restore a person's firearms rights.

The new law, referred to by its sponsor as the Nevada Second Chance Act, requires the person convicted of the offense to send a written request to the court which originally convicted them, requesting the sealing. If the prosecuting attorney has no objections to the sealing, the court will grant the request.

The Second Amendment Permits The Disarming of “Dangerous” Felons. Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). About 90% of those cases arose from gun possession by a felon.

For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.

No. Anyone who has been convicted of a felony crime is prohibited from owning or possessing firearms under Nevada state law. It does not matter if the conviction was from another state or a long time ago. The only exception is if the felony conviction was pardoned.

The 1968 Gun Control Act and subsequent amendments codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq. prohibit anyone convicted of a felony and anyone subject to a domestic violence protective order from possessing a firearm.

Firearm Prohibitions in Nevada Under federal law, people are generally prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms if they have been convicted of a felony or some domestic violence misdemeanors, or if they are subject to certain court orders related to domestic violence or a serious mental condition.

The only way for a felon to own a gun in Nevada is to obtain a pardon. Like federal law, in Nevada, a convicted felon is not permitted to own a gun.Under NRS § 202.360, Nevada law prohibits certain categories of people from owning or possessing firearms. Persons convicted of "treason or felony in any state" lose the right to vote, hold office, and sit on a jury "unless restored to civil rights." The short answer is no. In Nevada, it is illegal for a convicted felon to own, possess, or have control of a firearm. It is unlawful for a person convicted of a felony to own a pistol or possess any firearm. Nevada law states that if you have been convicted of a felony in any state or on the federal level, you may not possess a firearm. The only way to restore your Nevada gun rights following a conviction for a felony or domestic violence is to receive a Governor's pardon. Since voters in Nevada passed a background checks initiative in 2016, legislators in the state have enacted several significant gun safety laws.
