FORM SUMMARY Name of Form: Petition for Removal of Firearm Restriction Form Number: GF-154 Statutory Reference: §941.29(1)(bm) and 941.29(8),Wisconsin Statutes Purpose of Form: To allow an individual who has been adjudicated delinquent for a felony to ask a court to remove the firearms restrictions. Who Completes It: Individual who is seeking the removal. Distribution of Form: Original to court, copy to district attorney in county where • delinquency adjudication occurred; • petitioner resides (if different); and, • petition is filed (if different from above). Accompanying Forms: A copy of the dispositional order which resulted in the firearms restriction must be attached. Other documents may also have to be attached depending on how certain questions are answered. New Form/Modification: Modification; last update 10/99. Modifications: Added a line for petitioner’s address and zip code in signature block area. Comments: Any juvenile adjudicated delinquent for a felony act committed on or after April 21, 1994, is restricted from possessing firearms. This restriction continues even into adulthood unless the restrictions are removed by a judge. §941.29(8), Wis. Stats., provides that the individual may petition a court for removal of the restrictions. The statute does not limit the filing of the petition to the court of the county where the adjudication occurred. RMC believes this petition is not required to be filed in juvenile court, but is actually a special proceeding filed with the circuit court. The hearing would be an open proceeding. The burden is on the individual seeking removal of the restriction to show by a preponderance of the evidence that he or she is unlikely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety. RMC believes the petition should include information for the court concerning the status of the original dispositional order, any subsequent adjudication or convictions, and other matters germane to the issue of removal of the firearms restrictions.
