In Georgia an arrest that never resulted in a conviction can be expunged, if the charges were dropped for good reason and not just a legal technicality.
If an arrest record is expunged, that means only government agents and officials will be able to see it, but when they see it's "expunged" they should know not to hold it against you in any way. Other levels of criminal history checks done for non-government reasons (like a pre-employment check) will not show any record at all, with no indication that an arrest took place but was later expunged.
Added: The short answer is NO, it simply becomes "invisible" to members of the general public.
Add'l: Expunged criminal records WILL count against you if you are the subject of background check for a national security clearance.

If you wish more information, re-submit this question specifying the state and an effort will be made to research it more deeply.
Will an expunged record prevent you from obtaining a handgun?
If a charge is expunged it is erased from record. If your record has no entries of things that would prevent you from purchasing a handgun, you will be ok.Another View: An expungement just closes that particular expunged offense record to PUBLIC scrutiny. Law enforcement, the courts, Government agencies, and organizations conducting background checks for national security clearances, still have access to it. Therefore - no - you will not be eligible to purchase a firearm unless you reside in one of those small number of states that restore limited ownership rights after expungement.

You were 19 when you got a felony in two different states and you are now 43 how do you get them reduced from your record?
Reduced? Or expunged (erased from your record)? You can only get them expunged if you were a minor (usually anybody under 18 is a minor) when you got convicted of those felonies. However, I belieive that once you have a felony in your record as an adult (usually anybody over 18 is considereded an adult) it stays with you for the duration of your natural life. Check with your state and its laws.
