Q: 12 years ago, I was on fed.probation for 3 years and completed all aspects of the system. Can I now Vote or own a gun?
I'm very curious to know if, or how, I can restore my privileges to protect my family..Plz help me.
A:
I don't know the answer as it depends on what you were on probation for. But, the NACDL (National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers) has put together a great resource on the "Restoration of Rights" for collateral consequences of criminal convictions. This document shares much if not all of the information you're seeking regarding the right to vote and own/possess a firearm.
You can find the document here: http://www.nacdl.org/uploadedFiles/files/resource_center/2012_restoratio...
I hope it is of assistance to you. If you're having trouble with the above link or can't retrieve the document, feel free to contact me and I'll be more then happy to email it to you.
