Overview
Who can’t possess a firearm—and why—has never been more complicated… or more important.
In just 3 hours, cut through the confusion and get a clear, practical handle on one of the fastest-evolving areas of law affecting your clients.
Your instructors, Joshua Prince and Dillon Harris, starts off with the fundamentals that aren’t so fundamental anymore: how Pennsylvania and federal law intersect to create firearm prohibitions. From convictions to mental health commitments—and everything in between—you’ll learn exactly what triggers a prohibition and where the traps lie.
They also drill down on the kinds of conduct in the Commonwealth that is surprisingly prohibited and in some situations, can quietly—and sometimes permanently—strip someone of their Second Amendment rights.
Finally, they examine relief and litigation, focusing on the available pathways to restore rights, plus the constitutional challenges already working their way through state and federal courts—and what they mean for your practice right now.
This isn’t theory. This is the roadmap you need to:
• Spot prohibiting offenses others overlook
• Advise clients with precision and confidence
• Litigate complex firearm issues effectively
The law is shifting. Stay ahead of it.
Join us for this fast-paced, practical seminar and get the clarity you need in a space where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
