If you receive a misdemeanor conviction of domestic abuse, can you lose your right to possess a firearm?

Answer 1

YES! I'm a tactical firearms training manager at an indoor range. (BATFE's)Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Expolsives federal firearms form, the 4473 clearly asks you that question, if you answer YES to it, you are banned from purchasing and or owning a firearm in any state for a minimum of 10 years if it is a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. even if the person has a (TRO) temporary restraining order. by law you have to give up all firearms. Felons are BANNED for life no matter what the charges are!!

Answer 2

Federal firearms law:

The Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban (1996) was an amendment to the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997 which was passed by the 104th US Congress in the Fall of 1996. Officially known as 'Gun Ban for Individuals Convicted of a Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence' -- 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9)'[1], 'Public Law 104-208'[2] and is often referred to as the Lautenberg Amendment after its sponsor, Frank Lautenberg.

This law bans shipment, transport, ownership and use of guns or ammunition by individuals convicted of MISDEMEANOR OR FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. This law also makes it unlawful to sell or give a firearm or ammunition to such person.

So, to answer your question, yes...you can and will.

Answer 3

Hmmm perhaps the laws have changed but it used to be that if you were not a felon or on parole or probation you could get a license to purchase a handgun. It really depends on the laws in your state which vary in every state here in the USA. What are you trying to defend yourself against with a gun? Don't you know if you do the crime you pay the time... eventually it all catches back up with you. There are laws to protect the innocent, and alot of people shouldn't have possession of firearms. Are you one of them?
