Kelly Keegan Restores Gun Rights so Client’s Wife Can Have Firearms in the Home

Kelly’s client was convicted in 2000 of Felony Fifth Degree Possession in Morrison County after a sheriff’s deputy discovered eight ounces of marijuana in his car following a stop for dark window tint. Over time, the lifetime firearm ban that resulted increasingly bothered her client, who wished to go to the shooting range with his brothers and shoot skeet. He felt particularly bad that his felony conviction affected his wife, who wished to obtain a gun but couldn’t keep it in the house due to fears about constructive possession. Kelly convinced the judge that her client had rehabilitated, pointing to his stable employment history with Delta Airlines and the fact he was given special security clearances that showed he was not a public safety threat, his long-time marriage to his wife and their support for their two special needs daughters, and the fact that this was his only criminal conviction.
