Legal Question in Criminal Law in United States Minor Outlying Islands
expunging
Can I get a felony from
the early 80`s
expunged? I moved to
Texas and my wife
bought me a gun in my
name in November 2009
and now the ATF is
calling me on june 18th.
2009 telling me that
bass and pro shop, the
store she purchased the
gun at, called them and
told them that ''wopps
Mr. so and so has a 9MM
Ruger and he has a
felony on his record'' It
seems that if the store
did not get a reply from
the FBI back ground
check in 3 days they
could hand over the
gun. Now the only way I
can have a weapon is to
get my record expunged
, according to what the
ATF gentleman told me.
I also have the choice of
selling it at a pawn shop
to get rid of it. My
record has been clean
since the that happened
and I cant remember
the lawyer`s name that
got me the 4 years
probation deal.

Re: expunging
Was the offense in Texas? was the probation a deferred or a straight probation? Cant expunge a straight conviction in Texas.
Re: expunging
If you have been convicted of a crime, you cannot get that criminal record expunged.
