    Default Mississippi Felony 23 Years Ago

    My question involves expungements or pardons for the state of: Mississippi

    I was 19 or 20 can't remmeber but it is well over 20 years ago served 3 months probation and that was it. It was a breaking and entering of a store. What can I do to restore my rights? I now live in Tennessee and wish to restore my right to keep and bear arms. Can it be done?

    1) A juvenile arrested and released and whose case was dismissed or the charges were dropped or there was no disposition of such case. No pending charges must exist. M.C. § 43-21-159.
    2) A person convicted of a misdemeanor, excluding a conviction for a traffic violation and who is a first offender. M.C. § 99-19-71.
    3) A person arrested and released and the case was dismissed or the charges were dropped or there was no disposition of the case. M.C. § 99-19-71 and M.C. § 99-15-26.
    4) A person who served a sentence or period of probation and parole, pled guilty within six (6) months prior to the effective date of March 31, 1983. of M.C. § 99-15-26 and would have otherwise been eligible for the relief allowed in such section. M.C. § 99-15-57.
    5) A person who is arrested, issued a citation, or held for any misdemeanor and not formally charged or prosecuted with an offense within twelve months of arrest, or receives a dismissal of the charge. M.C. § 99-15-59.
    6) A person who was dismissed and the proceedings against them discharged or convicted for certain drug offenses under (c) or (d) of M.C. § 41-29-139 and had not reached their twenty-sixth birthday at the time of the offense, or a person who had satisfactorily served his sentence or period of probation and parole, had not turned 26 at the time of the offense. M.C. § 41-29-150.
    7) A person convicted of a misdemeanor drug offense of marijuana possession which is a 1st or 2nd conviction will have records of conviction expunged after two years. M.C. § 41-29-139.
    8) A defendant or participant who was sentenced at the time of entry of plea of guilty, and successfully completed the drug court order and other requirements of probation or suspension of sentence. M.C. § 9-23-23.
    I don't see anything regarding a felony conviction expungement. Even if you live in Tennesse, jurisdication is with Miss. as that's where the conviction took place.

    You might want to consult a criminal attorney in Miss. to see if you have any options.

    There is no way. That is, there is a law which allows your rights to own or possess a firearm to be restored, but Congress defunded the office that is responsible for it, so there is no way to do it. It is against federal law for you to possess a firearm or ammunition. Even if state law allows it, Federal law trumps. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    18 USC 922
