Expungement and Firearm Rights

[M'sta Mikey]

Yes im definately having an attorney do it for me.... just trying to get some insight.

As Carl indicated, that's a good choice. You don't want to take the chance and file incorrectly, which could set your case back months, if not years, or result in a denial altogether.

And, unlike homework in school, if something is improperly filed, the court doesn't have to send it back with corrections. They could simply choose not to act at all on an improper filing. It could languish for a very long time.

Okay, I have it now....

I was convicted of 242/243a.

I reviewed this with my attorney today, and we looked over all of my paperwork.

Does this help at all?

Is there any law on the books that deals with procedures or standards for getting cases dissmissed, specifically dealing with firearms right restoration?
Case law perhaps? I dunno... anything that can help me study up on this.

Even though im having an attorney handle everything, I'd like to do some research for me own peace of mind.

After all, no offense, the courts decision will determine my future, and perhaps the rest of my life.

It merely confirms what I suspected, but it doesn't help your situation any.

None that I am aware of.

This link to the CA courts has some info on expungements:

But, per federal law, they need the court to specifically state in the order that your firearms rights have been restored.
