    An Attorney General does not "rule" on an issue of law, only a court can do
    that. I suspect you are referring to an "Attorney General Opinion" which is
    advisory but does not have the force of law or precedent.

    First, standard advice is to seek counsel from a Washington State attorney.

    Second, some may disagree, but I believe that the quickest way to find out if you have
    lost your gun rights in Wash is to apply there to purchase a gun. However, most states
    require that you be a resident to purchase a firearm. What ever you do, do not lie on
    the application form if you do try to purchase a gun. If your pardon says you may
    legally state that you have no record then you may state that you have no record on any
    application or form (except a bar application). If they disagree they will tell you that
    your pardon has not removed your record for the purchase of a firearm.
