The easiest way is to have the felony expunged. If the felony is expungable, then your rights are automatically restored. However, there is another option. You can petition the court to restore your firearm rights. Two requirements must be met. Your civil citizenship rights must have been restored for twenty years and the felony has to have been classified as non-violent. An experienced Criminal Defense Attorney can go over your record with you and find the best way to restore your gun rights.
