L.C. Posted November 8, 2022 at 01:42 PM Share Posted November 8, 2022 at 01:42 PM 2018 I was denied my foid due to a felony conviction (non violent) from 30 yrs ago. I just figured I could NEVER own a fire arm for the rest of my life which was stated by the judge. After discovering this forum and researching and asking for guidance here I was able to over turn the denial. Receiving my foid card. Since receiving it I was a little nervous like what do I do now. 🤣🤣🤣. I started learning about gun safety watching alot of videos. I finally got the courage to go to the gun range. I was a little nervous but after a few lessons I was very relaxed. I finally brought my first ever firearm. H&K vp9. When I held it we felt like one. A perfect fit. A thousand rounds later im able to find my mark even at 15 yards. I want to encourage any responsible law biding citizen that get denied and its been more that 20 yrs to not give up. It took me 4 yrs but if I would have gotten a lawyer from the beginning it would have went fast. I soon will be taking my conceal carry class. My wife who also has a + 20 yr old conviction is currently going through her appeal. I look forward for our first date night at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilguy Posted November 22, 2022 at 12:03 AM Share Posted November 22, 2022 at 12:03 AM That's great news, congratulations. I have a nephew we use to clay shoot with as a family. Felony drug charge, guns gone for life. Sad he can't hang with us ever, unless Jaba issues a pardon. That's Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felony (state) drug convictions get FOID appeals every day and we’re usually successful. No reason to think it’s a lifetime ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
