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.

I hired Mr. Miller initially for a bond hearing . I decided to retain his services for the case itself . I was facing two felony charges as well as a failure to appear charge . 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 . Again thank you Mr. Miller for using your knowledge to keep me from being a convicted felon and also saving my career.- C. Dickens

I was very nervous when I had to go to court over a traffic accident I was recently involved in. Dan put me at ease almost immediately with his knowledge and tenacity. By the time Dan was finished questioning the other people involved in the accident I did not even have to testify (which was the major source of my nervousness). My innocence was clear to everyone in the room, thanks to Dan. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. Aside from his performance during the hearing he was very easy to contact and always kept appointments with me. He also answered all of my questions patiently and with understanding.- Client

Got a referral from a friend. "Call this guy I heard he's good." With much skepticism I called.
Dan did an excellent job for me. You will notice immediately he is smart, decisive, no nonsense and many more great qualities you want in a lawyer. It took very little time to see I just hired one of the best lawyers I've ever met.Professionally speaking, If you want somebody to tell you all the wonderful things that make you feel all fuzzy and warm its not Dan in my opinion.
However, if you want a highly intelligent, brutally honest, focused, driven lawyer that will shoot straight every time AND go the extra mile to make sure no rock is left unturned... Dan is the man!
