Ruffled:
Is a set aside of a 29-year-old conviction meaningless?

NE Bull:
WOW  With just the info here, sounds like the nullification was hunky dorry till somebody cried wolf..

Ross Berck:
Im so tired of hearing these types of abuses by law enforcement.   I remember something like "judged by the content of you character rather than the number of guns or amount of gun powder that you own"...  So was the "machinegun" registered and a problem for a municipality or what? 

Ross Berck:
Interesting if you click the link for the nullification it says "all civil disabilities and disqualifications imposed as a result of the conviction be removed the same as though a pardon had been issued"
 Note to LE and news people...quit using the mere possession of firearms as a "scary" news item.  There are many firearm owners out there and we dont like being made out as bad guys on the sole mention that we have firearms...

Dan W:
Right now the Legislature's website will not display the chapter 29 laws on pardons, but the other day I was looking at this issue in another vein, and it as my understanding that only the pardons board can restore civil rights via the process laid out in chapter 29.

And that I have been told by others that have been through the process, you must specifically request that one's 2nd amendment right also be restored.

My thought is that the judge in this case may not have exactly followed current law, but I have no clue when the pardons process was last changed.
