    Exclamation Can I Own Guns

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington

    I had a Pretial Diversion, The case was dismissed in 2000 After i was a good boy. In it the terms they said i was unable to posses firearms (the docket clearly states "No time entered") So I was never convicted. Had the cased dismissed. And still not sure if I can own guns. Please help me identify if i can own guns. Thanks

    More information is needed. Your age at arrest, the charges, what you where convicted of etc. AGE has alot to do with this.

    Well I was not convicted. I was Charged with DV assault in the 4th degree i was 19 or 20 Im 31 now so... Anyway It was definetly a pre trial diversion and the cased dismissed, this is important I think... Other then that I dont know what else to say. I had a pre trial diversion for dv 4th degree, took all neccassary action to make sure i was good, complied with all parts of order and it was dismissed two years later. Only mention of firearms is a single line that says "No Firearms/Possess Firearms:No Time Entered"

    Thanks for the response!

    Exclamation Pretrial Diversion and Gun Rights

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington

    I had been charged with 4th degree dv assault when, 1999 i was 19 or 20. I took a plea. A pretrial diversion to include anger class, probation and no GUNS... I completed it all and now i want my firearm rights. My court docket is all that remains of the case and it shows completion of all parts and the cased dismissed!! So can i own guns? or do i need to file "Order to restore firearms" I am 31 now so its been lots of years Ive had lawyers tell me it could be simple or blah blah blah... Does anyone know? Even the court house cant tell me the answer, and it seems neither can the lawyers (plurals) that ive talked to.

    Further if i need to file Order to restore, What am i supposed to say where they want me to show them my conviction? I was never convicted the case was dismissed. So im basically lost.... Please help, My friends like meat and bambis out there!!

    You will not be able to own a firearm. Even if the state restores your rights, you will still not qualify at the federal level. I suggest you hire a lawyer who has a specialty in ATF regulations before you apply as it can be a federal offense to even try and purchase a firearm.

    Well A lawyer is telling me that if I had a pretrial Diversion and the case was dismissed I should be able to own guns... So I guess I have to go pay way to much money for a lawyer to figure out the truth... Guess bambi gets a ruger 22 instead of my planned ar15 Oh well...
