California does have a provision for expungement.
See the below link for further information on its requirements and procedures.
Wrong. A felony conviction IS a felony conviction. You may be able to get the offense expunged (IF Arizona is one of the few states that will restore your civil rights).
A felony stays on your record until it removed. You can have most felonies expunged from your record and have your civil rights restored.
Each case is different. Hire an attorney or ask your local public defender's office for help.
Perhaps. If it was a state charge - if your state allows you to petition for it and - if you qualify for it. If it was a federal charge, forget it.
A felony is a more serious crime. Conviction of a felony will get you more time in jail and it will have an effect on your civil rights.
It has been over 15 years since my felony dwi. How do I get my rights back?

Noone with a felony can own a gun unless they have gone through the court to have their civil rights restored.
No. Commit a felony, and the majority of those rights will disappear, at least during incarceration, and some never return.
No, convicted felons are not lawfully permitted to possess a firearm in any 50 states and U.S. territories. You may seek to have your charge expunged or sealed if it's expungement eligible and if your felony is non-violent you may seek to have, what is known as "restoration of civil rights" motion filed with the court of appeals.
Your "civil rights" are your rights under the Constiution as a citizen of this country. Certain rights are taken away after a felony conviction, but most civil rights can only be taken away if the Constitution becomes null and void. On the other hand, some would say that the Constitution is being attacked and and all of our civil rights are in danger.
The answer is generally, No. Federal law states that convicted felons, as well as those convicted of a crime of domestic violence, cannot carry, possess, or own a firearm. Firearm possession is a requirement for the job, so it pretty much precludes you from employment. About the only way as a convicted felon you could become a police officer is for your felony charge to be expunged, and your civil rights, more specifically your right to possess a firearm, be restored. Even if that happens, you most likely will have a long road ahead, as it is unlikely you will be able to survive a background check with the conviction. Even though it is expunged, police departments can still find an expunged record.
