NC H1260

Establishes a petition process for North Carolina residents convicted of a single nonviolent felony to restore their firearms rights after their citizenship rights have been restored for at least 20 years.

Defines "nonviolent felony" to exclude Class A, B1, and B2 felonies, and any felony involving assault, deadly weapons, firearm possession, or sex offender registration requirements.

Petitioners must meet criteria including North Carolina residency for one year, a single nonviolent felony conviction, criminal background check, and no disqualifying conditions such as pending charges, substance abuse, violent misdemeanors, or active protective orders.

Creates exception to the Felony Firearms Act for convictions related to antitrust violations, unfair trade practices, or restraints of trade, allowing those individuals to possess firearms.

Requires $200 filing fee for petitions (waived for indigent filers) and mandates the Attorney General report to Congress on federal legality of restored firearm rights and the antitrust exception.
