Post: Relief From Firearms Prohibition In California

Posted by R.P. on 4/03/09
I was admitted to a mental health facility under WIC 5150 in 2006. I was held at the facility for 12 hours and released. As a result, I was prohibited from own firearms for 5 years under WIC 8103(f)(1). I am requesting a hearing for relief. The people have to show by the preponderance of the evidence that I would not use guns in a safe manner. I believe that they would have a difficult time proving that I would be unsafe based on the fact that I was not held for the full 72 hours under WIC5150 and that I have had no further issues. Is that a correct assumption? Does the firearms prohibition by the state trigger anything at the federal level? Thanks!
