You are going to have to be more specific as to what charge. Some misdemeanors in California carry a 10 year ban on the possession of firearms, regardless of expungement.

Your voting rights are restored after completion of your sentence, but since you were convicted of a felony, you are prohibited from ever possessing firearms or ammunition. Expungement does NOT change that, nothing will.
