Client With Lifelong Love of Hunting has Gun Right’s Restored

Kelly Keegan’s client pled guilty in 2011 to felony first degree burglary after stealing two laptops and a camera from an occupied residence after getting drunk at a college party. The conviction not only derailed his college dreams but his lifelong love of hunting: since 2011, Kelly’s client has not been able to participate in annual family hunts with his wife’s family or to obtain venison, which is a food source for their family. Kelly was able to convince the court that her client deserved to have his gun rights restored, arguing that the exemplary life he has led following his conviction demonstrates that the restoration of his rights does not present a risk to public safety. Now, with Kelly’s help, her client, for the first time in over a decade, will be able to join family and friends on their fall hunting outings this year.
