As a juvenile, I was charged with assault in the 4th degree. It was a misdemeanor charge. I plead guilty, and a part of the plea bargain told me that I gave up my rights to possess a firearm for life, unless I decide to take it back to court. I was 13 at the time of the charge, and I will be turning 23 years old this year.
I had my record expunged.
I went to purchase a pistol, and I explained to the gun store that I lost my right to own a firearm, and that I have an expunged record, and they said it would come up on the background report if I’m ineligible. Well, nothing came back, and I got my pistol.
I even applied for my CPL (Concealed Pistol License) and explained the same thing to the police department. They said if it’s expunged, then I don’t have a record. They did the fingerprint check, and nothing came up at all. They explained that even though I had my right taken away, that considering how my record is expunged, they can’t access the info, and they granted me my license.
I even called the FBI, and they told me the same story.
Basically, my question is, did having my juvenile record expunged restore my rights? No one gave me a clear answer. They just said that I’m NOT ineligible to own a pistol or a license to carry one.Q

Are you always this stupid, or are you making a special exception today? Maybe you just flunked out of school because you have no reading comprehension. I don’t know, and you probably don’t either, judging by how you type and the nonsense you spew out.
I was convicted of a felony? Really? When did that happen?
Hunting, shooting and target practise are some of the most popular pastimes in the USA, but make that you learn all about the rules and regulations regarding firearms and their safe use.
