    Default Owning a Firearm in Florida After Expunged Case

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: Florida

    Well I was't technically convicted of anything, I can still legally tell employers I was never convicted unless they ask if I've ever plead no contest, which is what I did for a grand theft charge (non violent) I am currently on probation for 6 months and I have the option to have everything expunged after my probation is up. My question is, in the state of FL, will I be able to legally purchase a firearm after my record is expunged?

    Not until that specific civil right has been restored.

    See here for details and the application you'll need: https://fpc.state.fl.us/Clemency.htm

    I remember reading about that somewhere actually. Is there a set amount of time that has to pass first or I can apply immediately after my record is wiped from public view?

    and to add to my first post, it was a 3rd degree felony if that matters.

    Turns out when I pleaded no contest, adjudication was withheld and none of my "rights" were taken away. I just can't purchase a firearm while on probation for obvious reasons.
