Firearm Rights Restoration in Maine
Posted by AutomaticAward3460@reddit | Firearms | View on Reddit | 8 comments
I have a friend who got a violent felony over twenty years ago and was wanting to have his rights restored. Does anyone know if it’s possible in the state of Maine and any lawyers that specialize in this? We haven’t been able to find much through our own “research.”

Why are all the comments deleted? What do they not want you to know?

We were not able to find any more than this and he does not have the money to seek counsel to find out much more

Yeah the governors do not do many of those in their term that sucks thank you though

Yeah…. Even if he was in a state that did expunge felonies some states don’t allow you to purchase legally with violent and domestic violence convictions. You’re friend will prob never own a gun legally. I think felons can still own bows and black powder in some cases.

Honestly, at that point, just change your Identity. If you cant win inside the law, fuck the law.

Maine doesn’t allow felony expungement. He can get a pardon from the governor though.
That took 2 seconds in google, so put as much weight on it as you’d like.
