Losing Your Firearm Rights in Virginia
Many are surprised to learn how easy it is to lose your firearm rights in Virginia. For instance, anyone convicted of a felony or misdemeanor domestic violence charge automatically relinquishes their right to own firearms. Likewise, those who are subject to a protective order, fugitives from justice, or individuals with a severe mental illness are prohibited from owning a gun.
These restrictions are allegedly put in place to safeguard citizens, but they often disproportionately affect those who are misunderstood or already paid their debt to society.
Our firm recognizes how contentious an issue firearm rights are.
Eligibility for Getting Your Firearm Rights Reinstated in Virginia
Requirements include:
- Providing a clean mental health record
- Demonstrating a commitment to responsible gun ownership
- Completing a certain amount of time without any new criminal convictions
It isn’t enough to simply claim these things are true. You must convince the court that you have taken the necessary steps. Our firm is here to help you build your case. We can investigate your situation and may be able to uncover evidence on your behalf. Furthermore, our strategies and skills in the courtroom can help lead the court to make the right decision for you.
Virginia’s Process for Firearm Rights Restoration
Petition the Circuit Court where your rights were revoked. This requires presenting evidence that demonstrates that you are no longer a threat to yourself or others, and you are capable of owning a gun responsibly.
You can also work to prove that you have a valid reason for owning a gun. Examples include:
- Occupational Requirement – Certain professions include firearm ownership as a mandatory component.
- Hunting – You could argue that your family has a long personal history with this sport, and you want to continue the tradition.
- Personal Security – You can demonstrate the need for enhanced personal security. Perhaps you live in a dangerous area, or your past includes some threatening characters.
The court will consider your criminal history, any mental health issues you may have, and your rehabilitation efforts. If it is satisfied that you are now fit to own a firearm, it may issue an order reinstating your rights.

While there were witnesses that were able to identify me, I walked out of Virginia Beach Courthouse with only a misdemeanor thanks to Mr. Miller's representation . I work in the healthcare profession and expressed to Mr. Miller the importance of avoiding a felony charge and he made it happen. I am forever grateful and will highly recommend him . Mr. Miller will always represent myself as well as family members if need be in the future .
