It has been close 6 years since my non violent felony and I want to restore my gun rights so that I can go hunting also I would like to be able to vote - I live in Washington state and I was told that you only have to wait for five years and you can get your rights back. Is that true and if so - what do you do - can you do it by yourself or do you have to hire an attorney and go to court etc. Please help ! ! ! ! Thank alot
