Bellevue Gun Rights Restoration
You might be one of the hundreds of folks living in Bellevue, and thousands more across our great state, who have an old criminal conviction in your past that cost you your firearm rights.
Many people in this position often don’t realize that, in most cases, you can get those rights back! And you can do it right here in Bellevue. Gun rights restoration may be a real possibility for you!
Which People Are Eligible for Bellevue Gun Rights Restoration?
If your conviction involved domestic violence to be eligible for the Bellevue gun rights restoration process, you have to comply with everything the court ordered you to do as part of your conviction. This usually includes things like:
- Paying money in the form of restitution, fines, and court fees
- Completing probation
- Completing community service
Following those steps, all that’s left is for you to complete a waiting period, and then you can petition the court to restore your firearm rights!
How Long Is the Waiting Period?
It’s 3 years if you have a misdemeanor and 5 years in the case of a felony. Depending on your records the wait may be longer, and for some people, restoration is not possible at all.
Who Is Not Eligible?
Some people are not eligible for restoring their gun rights in Bellevue or anywhere else. This is the case if you have:
- A conviction for a felony sex offense
- A current domestic violence restraining order or injunction
- A Class A felony conviction
- A felony conviction with a maximum sentence of 20 years or more
Do I Have to Travel to the County / State Where I Was Convicted?
No! It doesn’t matter where you were convicted of the crime. If you’re living in Bellevue, gun rights restoration is possible in King County, or wherever you reside in the state of Washington.
