Can you get your right to possess a firearm restored after a felony in Arizona?

In Arizona, a person convicted of a dangerous offense may never file to restore the right to possess a firearm, and a person convicted of a serious offense must wait 10 years from absolute discharge before filing. Restoring the right is always within the judge's discretion, even once a person becomes eligible to ask.
