You have to deal with Govenor's office to get a pardon not the ATF.
You will need a lawyer to help guide you through the process. |

If it was a federal rap she's SOL.

If I'm not mistaken, only a Presidential pardon will negate a federal felony. |

The local sheriff told her that montana considers her ok to have a gun and go hunting. But a whole other story on a federal level. So as long as the ATF doesnt come knocking at her door she would be alright.

You can get your federal gun rights restored by getting a "Certificate of Relief from Disabilities" from the BATF. The kicker here is that Congress removed funding for that program and the BATF won't process them anymore. I heard of a gundealer from Texas getting one under some special circumstances but from what I hear it's very unusual. Each state has their own procedure so you'd have to check with state authorities. Good luck.

No, she will not be alright. It is still against Federal law. She might look into muzzel loaders though. I'm not sure if having powder and caps would constitute a violation. |

The federal government does not consider muzzle-loading rifles to be "firearms" at this time, so she could probably hunt with a good muzzle-loader. She should talk with an experienced firearms lawyer about all this though so her bases are all covered. The trick could indeed be the propellant and primers.
