So I've read the threads ect and am still confused a bit.
A DUI Felony conviction doesn't fall under RS 14:95.1 and a first offender pardon gives rights to posses guns within the state however not to purchase using NICS.
However, under 18 USC 921 (a) 20, if it's set aside by expungement, pardon ect then you shouldn't have any problems with nics background check.
I have tried to purchase and have been denied. I have appealed and sent my auto first offender pardon to them waiting to hear back.
Can anyone please inform me of what is taking place to keep me against buying? I spoke to Brad Scott, a firearms attorney in New Orleans through email and legally, I can posses and own a firearm through the state of LA, but unless my conviction is expunged, I cannot pass NICS. But as stated under 18 USC 921 a 20, a pardon which is NOT specified the type, as long as rights of citizenship are restored, there should not be a ban to purchase. Please explain this to me.
