Gun Rights Restoration & Firearms Issues

According to the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, every citizen has the right to bear arms. However, if you have been charged with a felony (or certain misdemeanors), you may permanently lose that right.

In many cases, our Oregon clients have felonies or misdemeanors on their records that are old and may not correctly portray their contributions to society, denying them their right to bear arms. Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group’s experienced legal representation can help you file a petition with the county prosecutor and court to reinstate your right to bear arms.

Portland Metro Area Firearm Ownership Rights Lawyers

As a certified pistol instructor and member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), attorney Jason Short is a Portland metropolitan area gun rights restoration attorney who can provide specific legal knowledge and personal experience regarding gun rights, gun ownership and self-defense issues involving firearms.

Our attorneys help clients obtain concealed handgun licenses, review conviction records and determine if we can work to help them earn their right to possess a firearm again. In some cases, we may be able to expunge past convictions or reduce felonies to misdemeanors to restore gun rights.

With each client, we conduct a thorough investigation and review of their criminal history, evaluating their current position in society and determining if they pose a threat to public safety or to themselves.

An experienced attorney can help determine your ability to regain your right to own, possess and use firearms. It is important to consult with Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group to discover your options and your best course of action in such a case to obtain the best possible result.

Our firm also provides services regarding gun trusts and aggressive representation for dealers, collectors, manufacturers, importers and other parties threatened with the loss of their federal firearms licenses. When it comes to guns, we’ve got you covered.

      Jason Wheeless is one incredible attorney. From the very beginning I felt at ease and confident he would do everything in his power to achieve an ideal outcome for me. In less than 10 days Jason was able to do what I thought would be nearly impossible. I can’t thank you enough, Jason, you are simply amazing! I also want to thank you for your kind and sincere words of support and encouragement. I am truly grateful for your counsel and wisdom.

      I am so grateful for the guidance and support my attorney, Jenna Richards, provided. She gave me sound, straightforward advice and always made sure I understood my options. Most importantly, Jenna never made me feel judged or like a bad person—something that meant so much to me during a very difficult and unfortunate situation. She stood by me through the entire process and helped me get through it step by step. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone who needs not only strong legal representation but also compassion and understanding along the way.

      Melodie did an awesome job on my case. She was involved for over a year until I went to trial and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Saved me from incarceration and helped me through the whole process which was a very difficult case. Could not have asked for a better lawyer and support system! Thank you so much Melodie!!!

      Very professional and helpful law group. Right off the bat, they made me feel like they had my best interests at heart. Never felt any judgement or any sense that I was wasting their time with my questions, no matter how simple the questions may have been. And they always made themselves readily available to help me with sudden unexpected concerns that may have come up.
