The plaintiff Daniel Binderup has been married for 40 years.  However, Binderup had an extra-marital affair with a girl under 18 years of age who worked at his bakery.  On July 15, 1998, Binderup plead guilty in state court to one count of Corrupting a Minor,  18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6301, a first degree misdemeanor.  He was sentenced to three years of probation. Binderup's conviction disqualified him from owning a gun under 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6105(a) and 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).  So, Binderup sold his gun.

While on probation, Binderup sought relief in state court, and on June 1, 1999, the county court of Common Pleas granted Binderup relief under 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6105(d) removing the state law prohibition against him owing a gun.  However the court order noted that it did not affect any federal prohibition.
