Live in Saugus, Ma and was denied a LTC for my 1 and only conviction a DUI liquor in 1995. Officer said any alcohol or drug related conviction in Ma post 1994 is grounds for disqualification. Should I appeal?
After May 27, 1994 the law changed and anyone getting an MA based DUI conviction after that date was rendered a federally prohibited person.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you're pretty much ****ed unless you can get the conviction overturned somehow or get a pardon.

Can he get an FID?
Can he get an FID?
Doubt it.

So with an 18 year old DUI conviction he can't legally defend himself with pepper spray?
Can he get an FID?
Was it a conviction or was CWOF

I don't live in MA nor ever charged with anything, so this doesn't affect me. However, I am confused by an MA DUI being a federal thing. Also, is this typical in other states?

In 1994 the potential sentence for DUI became 2 1/2 years. Even though no one has probably done any jail time for a first offense dui, the potential sentance is there.I don't live in MA nor ever charged with anything, so this doesn't affect me.

If you have a MA dui after May 27, 1994, answer is yes, and you are federally prohibited.Have you ever been convicted in any court of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?
There's a lesson here. Never live in MA.
And don't drink and drive in MA.
Just gonna point out that it doesn't take you actually drinking for a cop to charge you with it.
Is that alcohol I smell sir?....
No.There's a lesson here. Never live in MA.
This. The problem is even more pronounced for non-Mass residents who are are convicted of OUI in MA. At least a MA resident has available to them the fig leaf of rights restoration through the FLRB. A non-resident does not.And don't drink and drive in MA.
My understanding is that FLRB may restore rights to LTC but not with NICS, hence still prohibited person.This.

The federal government does not recognize the restoration of 2A rights by the FLRB. There are people in Massachusetts who have post '94 OUI convictions, have sought and received FRLB relief, have an LTC and are still federally prohibited. They cannot pass a NICS check, even after having pursued the UPIN and VAF routes. We know this to be true and have fully tested it.
Correct. My point is that non-residents can't even go through the motions of state-level restoration.My understanding is that FLRB may restore rights to LTC but not with NICS, hence still prohibited person.
This ridiculousness is exactly why there should be no such thing as a PP or any other federal gun laws that clearly violate the constitution.
