PC 243(e) is usually what DAs charge for domestic violence crimes. However, the US Supreme Court is making it more difficult for convicted felons to ever purchase guns. Many convictions come with a 10-year period where a person who was convicted cannot purchase or own a gun and not a lifetime ban.

If you would like to discuss this further feel free to contact me. Best of luck.
