After a criminal conviction, your right to own fi****ms can be taken away. However, it’s possible to have your rights restored and get your life back to normal. Knowing who is eligible for firearm rights restoration can help you take the first steps.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT COMMITTED A CLASS A FELONY
If you have not committed a Class A felony, it’s possible to get your gun rights back. Class A felonies are the most serious crimes and they often carry a harsh penalty. A conviction for a class A felony could result in a sentence of life imprisonment, a fine of up to $50,000, or both. If your offense was not in this category, you can start the process of getting your rights back.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIMINAL OFFENSES IN FIVE YEARS
After your conviction, you will most likely be allowed to get your gun rights back after a certain period. For most cases, this period is five years without any criminal offenses. It’s important to know that this includes any criminal offense, no matter how mild it might be.

PEOPLE WITH MISDEMEANORS
Although some misdemeanors are very serious, they don’t hold the same penalties as felonies. You can usually start the process of getting your gun rights back after a period of three years without any criminal offenses.

After a criminal offense, it can be difficult to get your life back on track. Unfortunately, there are so many things you can’t do once you have a criminal offense on your record. Knowing how a criminal record expungement can help you move on with your life will give you a good idea of where to get started.

HELP WITH HOME RENTAL
In some cases, it can be difficult to find a place to live if you have a criminal record. Depending on the rental company and their specific policies, you may be barred from certain apartment complexes or rental opportunities. With the rental market being as difficult as it is, this can be a major inconvenience.

MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES
People with criminal records are often banned from certain jobs if they require you to handle money or work with different age groups. Even if your offense was minor or old, you could still run into trouble. Getting your criminal record expunged can be a big help.



GUN RIGHTS
When you have a criminal record, you may also run into trouble with your gun rights. If you are someone who feels that your gun rights are important, getting your criminal record expunged is important.

Washington gun laws over the last two years have changed a lot. Magazine restrictions, the AR Ban, and the qualifications for those looking to get their gun rights back have all been subject to revisions and restrictions now implemented under current Washington State laws.

RCW 9.41.041 has governed the process for those looking to restore their ability to possess a firearm for some time. Before the change in the law, if you had been convicted of a class B or C felony you had to have any five-year period after the conviction, but before the petition to the court where you were not in jail or on probation of any kind. If the revocation was a misdemeanor, this was reduced to three years and there had to be proof that the sentencing conditions of your case had been satisfied.

A few disqualifiers existed and still do, such as a conviction of a class A felony, dishonorable discharge from the military, or involuntary commitment to a mental institution, which prohibit the individual from restoring their firearm rights permanently. The new requirements described in RCW 9.41.041 make eligibility to get your gun rights back more stringent and the process longer.

TIME REQUIREMENTS
If your conviction was a felony or one of the following misdemeanors:

domestic violence, stalking, cyberstalking, cyber harassment, harassment, discharging a firearm, unlawful carrying or handling of a firearm, 2nd degree animal cruelty, violation of a protection order, and/or a prior offense listed in RCW 46.61.5055;

You must have been in the community, meaning not in jail or on any sort of probation, with no criminal convictions that would have prohibited your right to own a firearm for the period of five consecutive years immediately preceding the filing of the petition to possess a firearm. For all other convictions the five-year requirement is reduced to three years.

PENDING CHARGES
In addition, you must have no pending criminal charges and have completed all sentencing conditions of any convictions which prohibited you from possessing a firearm. This includes all court-ordered treatment and any restitution payable to any parties involved in the crime. However, this does not include court fines and fees.

NOTIFICATION
The prosecutor’s office, upon receiving the petition to restore an individual’s firearm rights, in most situations must now take reasonable steps to notify the victim of the crime which prohibited one’s firearm rights as well as any person who has obtained a protection order or no-contact order against the individual asking for their right to own a firearm to be restored.
