I was told I need A pardon from the president. B.T.W. I had no problem getting my HAZMAT.
If it was a federal offense the President would have the ability to pardon you but if it was between you and the state of VA then the President has no say. Here is a link from your state's website for the first step and getting to vote again.

Your governor said he was going to restore the right to vote to more people than any governor before and there was an article in Sept that said he was on track so it is easier now than before.
The ability to obtain a firearm is obviously more detailed but this states what you need to do.
" The restoration of rights does not include the right to possess or transport any firearm or to carry a concealed weapon. To regain state firearms privileges, a convicted felon must apply to the circuit court of her jurisdiction of residence for a permit to possess or carry a firearm. Circuit courts may consider the restoration of firearms privileges only after civil rights are restored. See the link in Resources for more Information pertaining to the restoration of firearm rights."
