Yes. The law only prohibits the ownership FIREARMS. Air guns and those powered by compressed gas do not qualify as firearms.
What kind of "battery" are you referring to? If it involved domestic violence, no. Whether you were "convicted" or not, if you are under a Domestic Violence Order, it is unlawful for you to possess a firearm. Check your paperwork - it's in there!
If there were any injuries involved in the Domestic VIOLENCE, then you are NOT eligible for expungement. Besides, an expungement only erases your PUBLIC record, NOT your official record. As far as the authorities are concerned you are still a convicted offender and, under the Lawton Amendment, you cannot possess a firearm.
You need to find a lawyer who is familiar with Florida firearms law and then explain your situation fully in order to get a correct answer.
Under federal law you cannot own a gun for any conviction of a domestic offense, even if that offense is a misdemeanor.
No, not in Florida, nor in any other US state.
Maybe he's just telling you that, or maybe he wasn't actually charged with Domestic Violence but with a lessser offense such as . . . . . perhaps Simple Assault. The actual charge of Domestic Violence cannot be expunged.
Charge- yes. Conviction- no.
Depending on the circumstances of the case it may be possible to have a domestic violence misdemeanor expunged from your record. In California a domestic violence allegation can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor.
When does the statute of limitations run out on a domestic violence misdemeanor charge in Florida
forever can not be expunged or pardoned
I am unaware of any "cooling off" period for a charge of "domestic violence, in the state of Florida.
most likely you will have to have the charge expunged, which is done by a lawyer........
no However, your record is expunged (cleared) of misdemeanors at 18 in most states, and after that you can as long as you didn't have a felony.
The period of charge is dependent on the type of domestic violence. But the serious the case, the longer the charge.
Unfortunately they probably can. They should be required to throw the book at abusers though.
Yes they Can!
No
