In cases where a state mental health determination resulted in a ban from transporting, shipping, possessing, or receiving a firearm under federal law, the relief granted only removes the firearm disability imposed under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(d)(4) and (g)(4), and that the relief granted does not otherwise qualify the petitioner to purchase or possess a firearm, and does not fulfill the requirements of the background check pursuant to the Brady Act (Pub. L. 103-159); or

In cases where the petitioner was barred from purchasing or possessing a firearm under either ORS 166.250 (Unlawful possession of firearms)(1)(c)(D) or (E), or 166.470 (Limitations and conditions for sales of firearms)(1)(e) or (f), the relief granted does not otherwise qualify the petitioner to purchase or possess a firearm under state law; and

(4)

Shall advise the petitioner of the right to appeal an adverse decision to the circuit court of the county that originally made the determination that led to the firearm prohibition and that the petitioner may then take an appeal from the circuit court to the Court of Appeals in accordance with ORS 183.500 (Appeals).
