| Can a state/county legally take away a persons gun rights for a misdemeanor accual physical control conviction? That's it apc, no guns involved and no other offenses. |
| Apc is like a dui or dwi but the vehicle is parked. I haven't had one in over 7 years and rarely if ever even drink anymore. Part of my sentence was no gun ownership or possession for 1 year. I still get flagged for it on the Nics causing a delay. I think they started doing it under 10 years ago on certain misdemeanors in my "quite gun friendly state". Was kind of wondering if it's even constitutional for them to do it. |
The answer to your question is yes, Texas or any other state can restrict your access to firearms for any felony and certain gross misdemeanor criminal convictions. However, you can always petition the Court for restoration of your firearms’ ownership and possession rights. Consult with a good private practice criminal law attorney on how you can go about doing this.

State (488A07) and Missouri's new constitutional amendment states only convicted violent felons, which our SC has a case in front of it now - Missouri v. Merritt, SC9406. And this from 22nd circuit court - St. Louis, Mo: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_8_32/577699_State_vs__Robinson_571_070_1_Unconstitutional_as_applied___22nd_Circuit_St__Louis___Good_Read.html |
