Gun Rights Restored for Client Adjudicated Delinquent of First Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct

Kelly Keegan’s client, a heavy-equipment service technician and shop foreman, hired Kelly with the support of his wife because he dreamed of hunting once again with friends and family. Kelly’s client committed an act against his brother when they were both juveniles, leading to an adjudication of delinquency in Ramsey County for First Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct and a lifetime ban on firearms.  Kelly argued that her client was rehabilitated as evidenced by his successful career, his happy marriage, counselling, and the completion of sexual offender programming. The judge agreed with Kelly, restoring her client’s gun rights so that he may inherit a family-heirloom firearm and once again hunt with his family.
