Re: would like my 2nd amendment rights back
Posted by Chad on 11/26/03
I am told by my probation officer that when I get off of
probation that I can apply for relief from this federal statute
that is inhibiting me from hunting (including with a bow. My
crimes were not violent. I am in the state of Missouri. Is
this true, and is there any steps that I can be doing now to
further enhance this process when I am released from probation.
Thanks, Chad
