FAQ
In Arizona, you are prohibited from knowingly possessing a firearm where you've been convicted of a felony or adjudicated delinquent for a felony and your civil right to possess or carry a firearm hasn't been restored.
You don't need an attorney! If you can fill out simple forms and provide copies of records then you can do it. I regained my firearm rights as well as acquired a concealed carry permit...all on my own. Just by following the steps required by the Commonwealth- all of which are available online.
Prop 47 Does Not Restore Firearm Rights A Prop 47 reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor will not restore your firearm rights. In order to restore your firearm rights, you will first need to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor for all purposes under Penal Code 17b, not Prop 47.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
How Hard is it to Get Gun Rights Restored in Arizona? The process of applying for the restoration of gun rights is fairly straightforward. The individual must fill out an application and provide the necessary documentation, such as a copy of the conviction and proof of completion of probation.
You may check your court orders or contact the Criminal Department at (602) 506-8575 (if your case was in Maricopa County) to confirm whether your civil and firearm rights have been restored.
