I agree. A mistake you made as a young adult should not haunt you the rest of your life. This is similar to the veteran that was denied a firearm purchase for a misdemeanor drug conviction he had back in the 70's.The Annoyed Man wrote:What is really wrong about the Lautenberg law is that there seems to be no mechanism whereby someone who has demonstrated a long period of being a good citizen can have his rights restored.

Re: Domestic violence misdemeanor carrying black powder?
While researching something else I ran across this...
"Sec. 46.04. UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARM. (a) A person who has been convicted of a felony commits an offense if he possesses a firearm:
(1) after conviction and before the fifth anniversary of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the felony or the person's release from supervision under community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision, whichever date is later; or
(2) after the period described by Subdivision (1), at any location other than the premises at which the person lives.
(b) A person who has been convicted of an offense under Section 22.01, punishable as a Class A misdemeanor and involving a member of the person's family or household, commits an offense if the person possesses a firearm before the fifth anniversary of the later of:
(1) the date of the person's release from confinement following conviction of the misdemeanor; or
(2) the date of the person's release from community supervision following conviction of the misdemeanor."
Depending on when the offense was committed he may be eligible to own a firearm.
