You need to petition the court for your rights to own a gun.

This should not prevent you from owning or buying a firearm unless it is a Domestic Violence. If DV and a conviction (as opposed to deferred sentence that was completed where guilty plea was withdrawn), then you can never buy, own or possess a firearm. Often, CBI has incorrect information and therefore an appeal needs to be filed with CBI to allow you to purchase a gun.
