May a non-resident get their gun rights restored in Virginia?

An increasing percentage of my law practice deals with gun rights restoration. Therefore, it is not surprising that I am frequently asked how, or if, a non-resident may petition to have their gun rights restored in Virginia.


The typical discussion goes something like this:


“I lived in Virginia 20 years ago.”


“While there I was convicted of felony X.”


“I have since moved to State Y.”


“State Y requires that I have my rights restored in Virginia before I can get my rights restored in State Y.”


“How do I do that?”

Would welcome the offender back into Virginia to pursue restoration of his rights.

Non-violent offenses should not IMHO carry the same weight, nor be subject to the same process for restoration of RKBA.
