Federal Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Texas Felon in Possession of a Firearm Laws

Описание: Updated on 9/20/2024 by Genaro R. Cortez: I published this video a couple of years ago. Since then, the case law has changed considerably on gun possession crimes. For example, the Supreme Court decided two major cases. They are New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs Bruen and United States vs Rahimi.

The Bruen case in particular marked a major shift in Supreme Court case law on the Second Amendment. More to the point--Bruen reopened the conversation on what felonies disqualify people from possessing a firearm.

At the same time, the Rahimi case says if someone poses a threat to the physical safety of another person, that the government can temporarily disarm him or her. This issue often comes up in domestic-violence cases.

Consequently, you should speak with a lawyer to see if you are able to buy a gun if you have a felony or domestic violence conviction on your record.

Finally, I've received many calls from people about restoring their gun rights. However, I do not handle these types of cases. I am a criminal defense attorney in San Antonio, Texas. I defend people charged with gun crimes. But I do not handle post-conviction litigation or restoration of gun-rights cases.

If you need help with that type of case, then contact your local bar association and ask for a lawyer referral. You can also search Google or Bing for lawyers that handles these types of cases.
