Whenever you have a conviction on your record, it can cause many problems in obtaining employment, professional licensing, and the right to vote. In certain situations, many convictions and records of arrest can be sealed so that they are off limits to all but law enforcement personnel.

The option to expunge your record may or may not be available to you depending on the nature of the conviction. However, it is usually available only after the terms and conditions of your probation have been met.

Technically speaking, expungement is a matter of filing papers with the court and a judicial determination so it would be best to contact your attorney about the matter.

An expungement basically means the charges and convictions are treated as if they didn't happen. Exact laws will vary depending on where you live, so get a lawyer to tell you exactly what happens, but it should mean you can ignore that charge for the purpose of buying firearms. Actually, expungement means it is removed from your public record. Law enforcement agencies can still access the information, and it will sometimes (depending on the circumstances) cause a problem when purchasing a gun.
