The expungement was promptly granted without the need for a hearing.

Kelly Keegan’s client had a conviction for Gross Misdemeanor Threats of Violence. Despite receiving a permit to purchase, he was denied the purchase of a firearm because he had an Identification for Firearms Sales (IFFS) flag from the FBI for his conviction. After digging into his case and determining that he was not prohibited from possessing firearms, Kelly worked with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to clear his IFFS flag. This will allow her client to purchase a firearm without issue.

When Kelly’s client was just 15 years old, he was charged with Felony Terroristic Threats in Carver County. At the time, he was just a kid with an attitude problem. He later went on to join the Marine Corps and became an upstanding citizen. Over 15 years later, he learned that he was prohibited from possessing firearms. In his career, the client often worked with law enforcement and was around firearms. The knowledge that he was prohibited was an unfortunate surprise, and so he immediately sought a solution. Kelly petitioned the Court for restoration of her client’s right to possess firearms. After submitting compelling background information to the Carver County Attorney’s Office, the prosecutor waived any objection to the petition, and the Court subsequently granted the client’s request for restoration of his rights. Now Kelly’s client can continue his work without limitations.
