Attorney advertising. No result is promised. National Firearm Rights Assistance is the private practice of Ira Leslie Kahn, a member of The Florida Bar. This office is not affiliated with, employed by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Justice or any other government agency. We prepare and handle, for a fee, applications for federal relief under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) and 28 C.F.R. Part 107. Eligibility and the grant or denial of relief are decided solely by DOJ.

Who the program accepts

If you are federally prohibited from possessing or handling firearms for one or more of these reasons under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), you are eligible to apply.

  • 922(g)(1)Felons
  • 922(g)(2)Fugitives
  • 922(g)(3)Unlawful drug users
  • 922(g)(4)Certain mental health statuses
  • 922(g)(5)Certain aliens
  • 922(g)(6)Dishonorable discharge
  • 922(g)(7)Citizenship renunciants
  • 922(g)(8)Domestic violence court order
  • 922(g)(9)Domestic violence misdemeanants

Two limits worth knowing up front: federal relief does not restore state or tribal firearm rights, and corporations or entities that have lost their federal firearm rights are handled through a separate process DOJ has not opened yet.

Are you currently incarcerated, awaiting sentencing, in a diversion program, or a fugitive from justice?

A record should not be a life sentence.

For many Americans a past conviction has meant permanently losing a constitutional right — years, even decades, after they moved on. The new federal process recognizes that disqualification need not be permanent.

If you qualify, you deserve a clear, professional path to make your case.

Is this legal representation?
Yes, if you retain us. An initial eligibility check is not a representation agreement. Representation begins only when you sign an engagement letter. Nothing on this site is a guarantee of relief.
Does federal restoration fix state or tribal rights?
No. Those are separate proceedings.
What if I was denied before?
Tell us before you retain us. A prior denial—especially one based on a permanent disqualifier—generally bars another application.
