The Governor of the state in which you were convicted. In the State of GA, that is not the case. You must apply to the State Board of Pardons and Paroles after your sentence is complete and an additional 5-year period in which you were not convicted of any crime.

Can convicted felons rent apartments in Atlanta GA?
The answer is NO...If you want to live in a decent luxury apartment. They will gladly accept convicted felons in high crime, drug infested areas. I applied to several Luxury apartment communities with honesty and they simply said ...don't bother to fill out the application. I was given an excuse in Stockbridge GA that they had to follow the guidelines of the Fair Housing Administration? My conviction is over 11 years old...I am currently gainfully employed by a Fortune 500 company earning over $75,000 a year. This to me, is a form of discrimination. There should be consideration and each case evaluated on an individual basis. I know for a fact that the way convicted felons get into luxury apartment communities is by getting someone else to rent it for them. Honesty does not pay in Atlanta Ga to rent an apartment.

How do your civil rights back if your a non violent felon in ga?
To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do your own esearch to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS - CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore, if you were convicted in FEDERAL COURT of a FEDERAL FELONY - it is a felony crime for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has effectively eliminated the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges, by denying funding for the purpose.

Can a convicted felon get gun permit rights restored for a job in ga?
The way I understand this question - you are asking about getting your gun rights restored so that you can get a job carrying a gun in Georgia??? If that is the case, you had better check closer with GA authorities - altho you MIGHT be able to have your felony expunged and your gun ownership rights restored, I SERIOUSLY doubt that you would ever be able to get a license to carry a gun for employment.
