CIVIL RIGHTS/FIREARM RESTORATION
A Guided Path to Rebuilding Your Future After a Felony Conviction
A past felony conviction can cast a long shadow, creating ongoing barriers to your basic liberties long after you have paid your dues to society. At PNW Guardian Haven, we believe that true rehabilitation involves restoring an individual's place in the community. While our non-profit organization provides private case preparation and administrative support, navigating the exact legal requirements to restore your rights is a precise process. Below is a breakdown of how civil rights and firearm rights operate under Washington State law.
Civil Rights Restoration (Voting & Civic Engagement): In Washington State, the landscape for civil rights has evolved significantly to favor community reintegration.
Firearm Rights Restoration: Unlike voting rights, the restoration of firearm possession rights is never automatic. To legally own, carry, or possess a firearm after a felony conviction, you must formally be ordered by the Superior Court.
