Kelly Restored Client’s Rights After Washington County Sheriff Denies his Permit Application

Kelly’s client came to her after being denied a permit to carry; she had previously restored his nephew’s gun rights so came highly recommended. Kelly’s client was convicted in Dakota County for Felony Fifth Possession of a Controlled Substance but had been told at the time by officials that by pleading to that offense his gun rights would be restored in ten years. This was very important to him as he is an avid outdoorsman and hunting is an important family tradition. Unfortunately, the law changed in the years since, which Kelly’s client discovered upon being denied the permit now years later. Kelly brought his case before the judge and successfully argued that her client had rehabilitated and should not be subject to a lifetime ban on possessing firearms. The judge agreed so that now her client may hunt with his family once again after all this time.
