1-How did you lose your gun rights?

2-What is a "ranger"? State or Federal?

3-Were you charged with a State or Federal Crime?(just because it is a feleny, doesn't make it a federal charge)

4-What court are you in? State or Federal?

No, you will not get a change of venue to your town.

What crack pipe loving shyster told you that?

In Montana, once sentence is complete, ALL of your civil rights are restored, including right to have a gun. Although the US attorney may prosecute, the state cannot. Look a little deeper.

Let me see if I have this right: You were charged by a Federal agent, and it is in state court?

If that's the case, when did the Federal Agent have State jurisdiction? Did this ranger charge you himself? or did he make a complaint to someone in the state and they charged you?
