Second Amendment Attorney Lynne Torgerson won gun rights restoration in Dakota County

MINNEAPOLIS - Sept. 30, 2024 - PRLog -- Ms. Torgerson just won a double restoration, from a disqualification based upon an involuntary mental health hospitalization, and, criminal convictions related to drugs and burglary.  A mental illness disqualification is generally less common than a criminal conviction disqualification.  Under Minnesota and federal law, if a person is placed into a mental health hospitalization involuntarily, or, if a judicial commitment is ordered, then they lose their gun rights for life.  However, a person in Minnesota can bring a petition for restoration under Minnesota Statutes.  A person may obtain a Letter from a psychologist or psychiatrist, although it is not required in all circumstances.  Additionally, in Minnesota, if a person is convicted of a felony crime of violence, said person loses their gun rights for life.  Again however, under Minnesota law, 609.165, a person can bring a petition to restore his Second Amendment rights.  Ms. Torgerson just won a gun rights restoration, where the person was disqualified from both an involuntary mental illness hospitalization, and, a felony crime of violence.  Well done Ms. Torgerson!
