How do you get your gun rights back in state of Colorado?
Well, it all depends on your situation. If you've convicted of something which is a felony only at state level, and NOT a federal felony, it MIGHT be possible to have your gun rights restored. You need the services of a lawyer, and there is no guarantee. If your felony conviction was a federal felony, your chances are more or less nil. If you've been convicted of a crime of domestic violence or something drug related - whether felony or misdemeanor - that further reduces your chances of being able to have your gun rights restored. Again, you need the services of a lawyer here, who can be privy to the exact details of your situation, and can make a determination as to the feasibility of trying to have your gun rights restored.

Very easily! Unless these rights are restored by the governor or the President of the United States for federal convictions, once you are convicted of a felony, your civil rights are taken away, such as the right to vote, to hold public office, to serve on a jury, to hold certain jobs involving contact with people, such as a barber, a lawyer, position, etc.; and, most notably, to own or possess any type of firearm. In most states, however, if your felony conviction is not of violent nature, your rights can be restored to you automatically.
