Re: Restoration of gun rights
You may be eligible to regain your right to possess firearms under state law; however, whether you can do so under federal law depends on a number of factors.
You can find a discussion of the issue at www.washrecord.com . For a specific opinion in your case, you would be well advised to retain an attorney who handles these matters.
If you are limited to restoring your gun rights under state law, which requires a petition and order in superior court, you would only be able to possess muzzleloaders.
Currently the only remedy for removing a firearm disability under federal law for a state DV misdemeanor is a goveror's pardon.
