Firearm rights restoration after prohibiting criminal convictions: a statewide descriptive study
By understanding who receives FRR and how often, this research helps lay the foundation to improve our understanding of FRR legal practices. Our findings suggest that variability within the population of prohibited individuals could help inform FRR eligibility considerations to meet the goals of both preventing firearm violence and equitably re-instating rights to formerly convicted individuals.
