Stephen P. Halbrook Attorney at Law 3925 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 403 Fairfax, VA 22030 Tel. (703) 352-7276 Fax (703) 359-0938 Email: prot...@aol.com Website: _www.stephenhalbrook.com_ (http://www.stephenhalbrook.com) In a message dated 5/7/2010 4:31:51 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, vol...@law.ucla.edu writes: 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(4) bars gun possession by, among others, anyone “who [has] been committed to a mental institution” – apparently at any time in the past. Is there any procedure through which people who have been (properly) committed to a mental institution may have that somehow set aside or vacated for 922(g)(4) purposes, on the grounds that enough time has elapsed, and that there is no reason to question their mental health now?
