The federal prohibition applies indefinitely unless the conviction is expunged or set aside, and gun rights are specifically restored. Most other misdemeanor convictions do not result in the automatic loss of firearm rights. However, probation terms or specific court orders may temporarily restrict firearm possession.
In Arizona, most of those who have lost their 2nd amendment rights due to a felony conviction can restore their rights through the court in which their conviction occurred. For “first offenders,” their civil rights along with firearm rights are automatically restored with exceptions for serious and dangerous offenses.
A person may not vote, serve on a jury, obtain commercial driver's licenses, possess a gun or join the U.S. armed forces. Even if a person's right to carry a weapon is restored he/she will be permanently banned from receiving a concealed weapon's permit.
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.
To regain your right to own a gun as an individual in Arizona who was convicted of a nonviolent crime, you must wait at least two years after your discharge from jail or prison. If you were convicted of a violent crime or dangerous events, you must wait 10 years.
To restore the right to possess a weapon the person must file an application with Maricopa County Superior Court. A person with two or more Arizona felony convictions must file the applications to restore their civil liberties with Maricopa County Superior Court.
