Hello all. I have been lurking on this site for quite awhile and decided to write my first post. I know some of you will support me and some will oppose. I respect everyone's opinion and welcome any comments. First of all a little background. I am a 33 year old father of a beautiful 18 month old girl who I adore and a loving husband. 13 years ago While working at a store I made the worst decision of my life and let a friend talk me into doing something wrong(It was my decision so I place blame on myself only). He asked if I would let him come through my checkout and not charge him for something. I said ok since he got me the job and out he went. Well it seemed so easy we started a racket of letting some friends walk out without paying for merchandise for cash later. That choice I made has haunted me ever since. When I showed up one day I was called in the office and asked about it and I admitted everything and wrote my confession cause I had been feeling sick to my stomach the past couple weeks. Well I was arrested, charged, and convicted of Felony Embezzlement. Since being a first time offender I received a suspended sentence, probation, and ordered to pay restitution. Well I paid every penny back and served 5 years probation. Since then I have gotten a speeding ticket and that is it. I made a mistake, I paid for it. Before this happened I was an avid sportsman and did a lot of hunting. Well as you all know NO GUNS FOR YOU! I was always going target shooting and still have a nice collection of shotguns old and new that I inherited from my grandfather and great-grandfather(They are all at my parents house). Well I am hoping I get my Gun rights restored and on July 11th I have my hearing in front of the judge. My attorney has told me the Commonwealth has signed off on it so all I need now is a Judge who understands. I hope to report back good news in a few weeks. Sorry for the long post and hope to talk soon.
