Restoration of Rights

If you are prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law as a result of an emergency involuntary (“blue paper”) commitment to a mental health facility, Maine and federal law allow you to apply for relief from that specific disqualification. This process does not authorize the Commissioner to set aside a prohibition based on any other reason.
