Best Answer

Unless your record was expunged (for example, because you were prosecuted as a juvenile, completed your juvenile sentence, and your record was expunged by order of the court), a felony will always remain on your permanent record. Any time your criminal history is run, it will show all convictions, including felonies. If the background check includes a criminal history report, the felony will be included because criminal histories are run through law enforcement databases that do not typically restrict by year.

It depends on the laws of the state or government. Some states have no Statute of Limitations on Felonies of any type. Others have limitations on the length of time depending on the specific crime.

If a person was convicted of a felony in New Jersey over 20 years ago and now lives in Utah can he regain his right to use a firearm to deer hunt?

Not unless they return to New Jersey to petition the NJ Courts to expunge their record. Your record can only be expunged by the jurisdiction in which you were originally convicted. Your felony conviction follows you for life and the penalties for violating the firearm possession laws are HARSH.
