Re: get my gun rights back after 1 felony over 12yrs ago

We answer a lot of expungment (setting aside a conviction) questions here. Search the lawguru.com "Q&A Database" (link on left side of Lawguru.com window) and search for Michigan Criminal Law sections, and add text like "expungment" or "set aside a conviction". You should see many questions and answers.

Basically, if you are more than 5 yrs down the road after all court involvement on a case (probation, jail, etc., whichever is latest), you can apply through the court of conviction. But there is a strict process that you must follow, so it is a good idea to consult an attorney to help.

Also, this must be your one and only misdmeanor or felony conviction. ANY other criminal conviction should disquaify you.
