What Rights Can Be Restored After a Felony Conviction?
Depending on your record, you may be eligible to have several key civil rights restored, such as:
- The right to vote
- The ability to serve on a jury
- The right to run for or hold public office
- The right to legally own or possess a firearm
Restoring your civil rights involves more than just fulfilling legal requirements; it involves reclaiming your voice, independence, and sense of belonging.
If your conviction was for a first-time, non-violent offense, some rights may be restored automatically after your sentence ends. However, if you’ve had multiple convictions—or want to get your gun rights back—you’ll need to file a petition with the court.
Understanding Gun Rights Restoration in Arizona
Restoring firearm rights in Arizona comes with its own rules and waiting periods that depend on your conviction. Here’s what you should know:
- For non-serious felonies, you can apply for restoration two years after completing your sentence.
- For serious felonies, there’s a ten-year waiting period.
- Those convicted of dangerous offenses, especially involving weapons, usually aren’t eligible.
- A set-aside doesn’t automatically restore firearm rights.
- Even if Arizona reinstates your rights, federal law may still impose restrictions.
Our team will take a close look at your case to determine eligibility and guide you through both state and federal steps.
