I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.
well, it will be hard. you see i have a feeling that what you were convicted of sort of categorizes itself in the profile of drug related crimes: drugs bring on violence, mafia, etc. guns are a part of that, so, no gun for you.
Well, you will need a good criminal defense attorney to help you possibly expunge the record and then try to reapply for the guns.
Hope this helps.
