brass knuckles; prohibited weapon; definition

SB 1409 creates a process for individuals prohibited from possessing firearms (due to reasons like mental health orders, felony convictions, or other court rulings) to petition a court to restore their firearm rights. Petitioners must provide psychological evidence and undergo a hearing where the court evaluates factors including the original reason for prohibition, mental health records, criminal history, and public safety risk. If approved, the court order restores firearm possession rights and requires state agencies to update background check records. The bill also includes a minor amendment defining "brass knuckles" in Arizona's firearm laws, but this is not the primary focus of the legislation.
