Federal firearms disability refers to certain legal restrictions that prevent individuals from owning or possessing firearms. This includes individuals convicted of felonies, those with specific domestic violence misdemeanors, individuals adjudicated as mentally defective or involuntarily committed to mental institutions, and individuals subject to certain restraining orders.
