More details to this question:
I was convicted of DV2 on 1/16/20. Was an exaggerated charge by the state. Nonetheless, the “victim” my wife now tried to stop the charges at the time. She was told by the prosecuting attorney that he (me) can’t possess firearms for 3 years. Can I possess them now? Do I have to apply? I live in South Carolina. Case is closed to my knowledge.

Convictions relating to domestic violence trigger limitations for firearm possession and purchase under federal firearm laws. Prior to taking additional steps review of the actual charge listed for conviction on the rap sheet should be reviewed with an attorney. Consideration of the charge, potential expungement, and the current and ongoing collateral consequences of the charge/arrest should be considered with the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
