Retain a lawyer like myself to try to get a gun permit.

You may petition the court to restore your firearm rights five years after competing all conditions (including financial) of a sentence for a class C felony (10 years for class B). You didn't mention the degree on the trafficking (1 is B and 2 is C) and there is no 3rd degree burglary in WA.

Well it depends on what State you are in whether you can get your gun rights back and what you have to do. See a local attorney and ask.

The simple answer is- it depends. It depends on the type of conviction, punishment, any federal laws that may preclude ownership, and state law restrictions. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney in your area to determine what steps need to be done to accomplish your goal.

you cannot own or possess a gun under federal law if you have a felony conviction.
