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.
There are three ways that information contained in a court record can be removed from public inspection: certain information in a record can be shielded, the record can be sealed, or the record can be expunged. For more information on shielding case information and sealing case records, see Access to Court Records.
This process should take no more than 90 days unless there is an objection or an appeal.
- you would like to file to have your case expunged before the case is scheduled to be automatically expunged. A case will be automatically expunged in three (3) years if the case was closed with a final disposition of acquittal, not guilty, dismissal, or nolle prosequi.
