Q: I pled down to a disordly conduct under the statue 609.72.1. Can I still buy a gun? If not can I get my rights restore
It was originally a Domestic Assault-Misdemeanor-Intentionally Inflicts/Attempts to Inflict Bodily Harm though was dismissed and then pled down to what I previously said in the beginning. I only admitted to Yelling at the victim in court which was part of the plea deal. Does it bar me from owning a gun for life or can I get my rights restored this is in minnesota
A: A person with a 609.72, subd. 1 (3) conviction does not lose their civil rights to firearms in Minnesota. If there is a problem, check the court's records directly to verify that the conviction is for Minnesota Statutes Sec. 609.72, subd. 1 (3) - exactly. If the court conviction record shows only 609.72, subd. 1, some LEOs will interpret the ambiguity against the citizen. I have more on this on my website; or call me with any questions.
