Re: Gun rights
Posted by Rob on 6/30/08

I thank you for the responses. I have talked to a local
attorney, and it was classified as a misdemeaner. But since it
had a POSSIBLE sentance of over one year I was denied my gun
rights. However, I have voted and am allowed to continue to
vote..aparently it doesnt count against that. I am assured it
will be an easy to get them restored. Thanks again for your
time.
