Remove the state disability by filing a petition to restore gun rights in the county where convicted or county of residence. RCW 9.41.040. If no prior felonies, a class B felon is eligible 5 years after most recent criminal conviction for any offense.

In addition to the above, remove the federal disability with one of the following:

> unconditional governor's pardon

> set aside conviction (different than vacating)

> certificate of discharge (easiest and most common)
