If you have lost your right to possess firearms due to a criminal conviction or mental health commitment, you are not alone. Thousands of Virginians face the challenge of regaining their constitutional rights after a difficult chapter in their lives. At Battlefield Law Group, we help individuals across Northern Virginia navigate the legal process of restoring their gun rights so they can move forward with confidence and dignity.

Our experienced criminal defense attorneys in Manassas understand how important your Second Amendment rights are and we are committed to helping you reclaim them.

Understanding Gun Rights Loss and Restoration

In Virginia, individuals may lose their right to possess firearms if they have been:

  • Convicted of a felony

  • Convicted of certain violent misdemeanors

  • Involuntarily committed for mental health reasons

  • Subject to certain protective orders

Restoring your firearm rights is possible, but it requires following strict legal procedures under Va. Code § 18.2-308.2(C) and related statutes. You must petition the appropriate court and demonstrate that you have been rehabilitated and can safely possess firearms.

Importantly, restoration in Virginia only affects your rights under Virginia law. To fully restore your federal firearm rights, additional steps with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) may be necessary.
