    A PARDON WILL REMOVE A FIREARM DISABILITY IF BASED UPON REHABILITATION
    OR INNOCENCE AND HAS NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE RIGHT TO POSSESS FIREARMS.
    IT DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT YOUR GUN RIGHTS ARE RESTORED.

    OTHER THAN A PARDON, THE ONLY REMEDY IS ESTABLISHING THAT THE
    MISDEMEANOR DV CONVICTION DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A PROHIBITIVE OFFENSE
    UNDER FEDERAL LAW (NO ATTY/WAIVER, NO JURY/WAIVER, NO ELEMENT OF
    FORCE). VACATING IS NOT AN OPTION; THERE IS NO EXPUNGEMENT IN WA. SO
    YES . . . DON'T PAY AN ATTORNEY FOR THESE OPTIONS.
