RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The state Supreme Court ruled Friday the courts have the sole discretion in Virginia whether felons who have served their time can have their firearm rights restored.
The justices wrote that Kaine and McDonnell correctly exercised their constitutional authority in restoring political rights, and properly referred the question about the rights on firearms to circuit courts.
The justices said the lower courts erred in concluding that the governors' actions precluded them from acting on rights involving firearms.
