Manthey this is 2 parts because the web administrator needs
to review it. it might be too long...

First remember these words. I will get get a lot of flack
from the board but here it is...Lawyers are a bunch of lazy
basters looking only for quick money they don't have to work
for. If there is work envolved this brings down the "protect
their fee" ratio. You are under the wrong impression that
you Need a lawyer to help you. The old way of becoming a
lawyer was to sit down and read law books and then take the
bar. The is exactly how Lincoln did it. So the best lawyer
for you is yourself armed with legal knowledge. You will
discover (many) lawyers only know just the basics of a
particuliar area to get by (but charge you as if they are an
expert in the area!) So read and read more and this will set
you free....

Next, I see from my reading on the net (hint) :

Possession of Firearm After Conviction of Misdemeanor Crime
of Domestic Violence, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9)
As of September 30, 1996, it is illegal to possess a firearm
after conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic
violence. This prohibition applies to persons convicted of
such misdemeanors at any time, even if the conviction
occurred prior to the new law's effective date. A qualifying
misdemeanor domestic violence crime must have as an element
the use or attempted use of physical force or the threatened
use of a deadly weapon. For example, a conviction for a
misdemeanor violation of a protection order will not
qualify, even if the violation was committed by a violent
act, if the statute does not require the use or attempted
use of physical force or the threatened use of a deadly
weapon. The U. S. Attorney's Office can determine which
misdemeanor convictions qualify.
