I thought that you could only lose your rights...permanently,at least...when convicted of a felony.Is this a Wyoming thing or does it apply nationwide?

That's true. However, the story uses misdemeanor and domestic violence. I am confused... is DV a felony? If so, why is misdemeanor even mentioned?

You lose them on felonies AND on DV even though it is not a felony. Gun rights folks have been annoyed by this one for a while now. I think you lose them if someone gets a restraining order too. In some cases I think you don't even have to get convicted.

Lautenberg Amendment perhaps?
Or one like it in that state?
