Have you tried filing for expungement under your State's laws?

Go to this link for info on Washington State expungements:
http://www.courts.wa.gov/brochure/criminal/cjrecords.cfm

You can do more research using parameters such as "Washington"
+ "state" + "expungement" + "record" + "law".

Can an expungement help me to lawfully possess firearms? the
answer is frequently: Yes.

Because an expungement removes the criminal conviction, it may
have the effect of removing the disqualification placed upon a
"convicted person" from purchasing or possessing firearms
under the firearm licensing/possessory law of some states.

A State expungement could also remove the Federal
disqualification for convicted felons purchasing or possessing
firearms. At one time an individual needed a Federal relief
from disabilities even though they had a State expungement.
Under the 1986 Gun Owners Protection Act, this was changed so
that the Federal Government recognizes State expungement. This
express recognition may be found under the U.S.C.A. Title 18,
921(a)(20). Expungement of an otherwise qualifying offense
also removes one from being subjected to the Lautenberg
Domestic Violence Misdemeanor Gun Ban.

Since there has been much, much activity in this area of the
law, you are cautioned that the above may not be current and
you should thoroughly research and investigate for accuracy.
