Kelly Restores Gun Rights for Client with Felony Terroristic Threats Conviction

Kelly’s client was convicted of Felony Terroristic Threats in Mille Lacs County for making threatening gestures during a road-rage incident, leading to a lifetime ban on possessing firearms. The ban hit him hard as he was an avid hunter and expert bird-dog trainer and had hunted all his life. Kelly’s client came to her because he had continued to train his dog and dreamed of hunting again. He had tried twice in the past to restore his rights and had been denied both times. His third attempt would be his last. Despite the serious charge and State opposition to the reinstatement, Kelly was able to convince the judge that her client no longer posed a threat. At the hearing, the judge commended her client for his rehabilitation. His rights were restored and he may hunt once again with his well-trained bird dog.
