What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maine
Hi, a little over 5 years ago I was "White Papered": Non- Voluntarily Commited to a Mental Hospital for long term. (4 months) For cercumstances I really didn't have any say or rights on. And I read the Maine statute online and I saw something about sending an application to the state after a period of after 5 years and you can seek to get the prohibition lifted. So last October I began my journey for restoration by sending in application to the State of Maine and they sent me my paperwork back and sent me something that Maine is no longer exsepting applications based on Mental Hospital Adjudication because there was conflict in the Maine statute with Federal law. "Whatever that may be" So last fall I was living in New Hampshire but I moved back to Maine this Winter. i contacted a lawyer out there that is recognized by the state of Maine however her rates were to high. Now I am currently seeking the guidance of a new lawyer that provides me more economical rates. What my question is for this forum is: Is there any helpful information or paperwork I can obtain from the ATF and if Maine has a conflict with federal law with something in this statute can the feds approove a prohibition lift with the state and if it is a lengthy process with time and money? I really don't want to loose my firearm rights for life.
