    Default Expunging an Old Felony Probation for Firearms Purchase

    i pled guilty to a felony assault (no battery) about 7 or 8 years ago in california and was put on probation. this only came up recently, when a lawyer handling another case of mine told me about it -- i didn't have to do anything while on probation, show up anywhere, etc. i had completely forgotten about it!
    anyway, now i am living out of state and would like to purchase a firearm and go hunting. the state i am in has very loose gun laws, but will the fed background check stop me from doing so? is there a specified time period after which the probation is over and the record expunged? thanks.

    Review the California Firearms Laws booklet to confirm that you are eligible to own firearms. If you are eligible under California law and the laws of the state you are in, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Your conviction will not be automatically expunged.
