" I dont care about the second amendment"

[DHC]

My friend was told there is no recourse but a pardon from the governor. Attorney said CO doesn't expunge felonies, not even for minors.

"Dear Hickenlooper,
I'd like my rights restored so I can buy a gun..."

GFL.

In Colorado a person CAN petition the court to *seal* their criminal record (depending on the nature and type of crime), making it as if it never existed EXCEPT to members of Law Enforcement and the Judicial system. The State publishes a set of instructions at this link --> http://www.courts.state.co.us/Forms/...m.cfm?Form=785

Only in juvenile matters is there an "expungement," but for all practical purposes a sealed record accomplishes the same thing.

MANY States restore rights after you have " done your time"

Colorado doesn't, in most instances. Aside from simple drug possession, adult convictions are forever here.

Unless you can talk a pardon out of Guv. Howdy Doody, anyway.

As for sex therapy... I'm bound by my code of ethics... and it is sticky.

Thanks for clarifying, I'm not overly familiar with the CO process, just know the one employee of mine managed to get it done.

Nevermind, someone beat me to it...

I'd guess CBI would fall under the "law enforcement and judicial system" so a sealed record would still get you a denial on a gun purchase?

That is correct. A sealed record does NOT vacate a conviction, hence, a background check would likely turn up the conviction.

Or they are present in their home, and since they are both married...registered to their wives.

We've discussed this B4 THERE IS NO GUN REGISTRATION IN COLORADO, not yet anyway. NFA items are a different story and fall under federal laws.
for @#$%^&* sake's get it right !

regarding a "felony" After 10 years you can get it expunged on both State & federal. i know 1 person who spent the time and MONEY to clear his shit up. Wasn't cheap, then neither is FREEDOM.
Remember there are felons, then there are VIOLENT FELONS.

I only meant all sale, ownership, would be in their name and would either be able to prove without any doubt that the wife is the owner and sole possessor of the firearm as far as any inquiry by law enforcement would be concerned.

I have a friend who was convicted of drug possession here in Colorado, moved to Washington state and got his rights restored there. Now here is the odd thing...Colorado doesn't recognize the restoration done by Washington state and he cannot pass a federal background check as the ATF has no process in place to restore ones rights.
