What Is Firearm Rights Restoration in Georgia?


Losing your right to own or possess firearms can affect your career, your safety, and the safety of your family. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also a well-recognized right every law-abiding citizen can exercise. Federal and Georgia laws prohibit firearm possession for individuals with certain convictions, such as felonies or domestic violence misdemeanors. At Georgia Gun Lawyers, our practice focuses on restoring these rights through proven legal pathways. With deep knowledge of Georgia criminal law, local court procedures, and eligibility criteria, we help clients overcome firearm possession restrictions, from Weapons Carry License denials, correction of criminal records, to the pardon and restoration processes of the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Our tailored approach ensures compliance with Georgia firearm laws while advocating for your Second Amendment rights. Whether you’re pursuing a pardon, a restoration of rights, or retroactive First Offender discharge, we provide detailed legal support from consultation to resolution.

Legal Pathways to Restore Firearm Rights in Georgia

Pardons for Firearm Rights Restoration

A pardon from the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles can help clear the path to forgiveness for past crimes, and is a part of the process that can lead to the restoration of firearm rights after a felony conviction. A pardon alone will not restore your firearm rights, but is part of a system of restoration in Georgia that will work to clear your record and assist in the restoration of all your rights, including the right to possess firearms. Our team at Georgia Gun Lawyers helps clients prepare compelling pardon applications, compile evidence of rehabilitation, and navigate the pardon process. If you’re searching for “Georgia pardon for firearm rights,” we assess your eligibility and build a strong case to showcase your community contributions and clean record.

Restoration of Rights in Georgia

Governed by the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles and an important counterpart to a pardon, a restoration of firearm rights is necessary in Georgia to once again realize your right to possess firearms. Our Georgia firearm rights restoration team can assist you in this process, ensuring all documentation meets state standards. We clarify eligibility requirements, investigate your individual history, and find the necessary documents to assist you, to help you successfully restore firearm rights in Georgia.

Retroactive First Offender Actions

Georgia’s First Offender Act allows eligible individuals to avoid long-term conviction consequences, including firearm restrictions. A Petition for Discharge and Exoneration (also called a "Retroactive First Offender Filing") can work to turn a past felony conviction into a dismissal, restoring all your rights under the law: the right to sit on a jury, the right to run for public office, the right to become a notary public, and the right to possess firearms (the right to vote in Georgia is restored upon completion of a felony sentence). a Retroactive First Offender filing benefits first-time offenders not originally sentenced under the Act who can still utilize a First Offender Act plea. If you qualify for such a petition and your request is granted, your conviction can be turned into a dismissal. At Georgia Gun Lawyers, our team can help you identify opportunities and file strategic motions to reinstate your firearm possession rights through these types of petitions.
