Re: Trying to help my dad out with this question?
Depending on the conviction he can get the conviction removed pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4 and then petition for a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon from the governor. Simply getting the conviction removed won't allow him to carry a gun again. If his conviction wasn't a felony, for example if it was a domestic violence offense, then the gun prohibition was possibly only 10 years. To fully answer your question you would have to provide more specific information. it may require a full consultation with an attorney.
Good luck,

Hire him an attorney to try to expunge the conviction, and seek a rehabilitation order, if he qualifies for such relief. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing this.
