Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas
My Father (78) was charged with 3rd offense DUI in 2010 in Kansas. He paid his fines and jumped through all the hoops required. He actually quit drinking completely as a result. Kansas classifies this as a "non person" felony according to what I have found. My question is, can he legally possess a firearm?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Under Kansas law it depends on his criminal history, if he has never had another felony, will be prohibited from possessing a fire arm for 5 years from the date of his conviction. However, under Federal Law he may still be prohibited from possessing a firearm unless his conviction is expunged and under current Kansas law, a person must wait seven (7) years from the time they have competed their sentence or probation until they are eligible to petition the Court for expungement.
