You have to have your rights restored, which, strictly speaking has nothing to do with expungement.
A convicted felon can not own, possess, or carry a firearm. If possible, a set-aside or expungement should be explored with a competent attorney to have the firearms rights restored.
No you cannot possess a firearm at all
Being pardoned does not allow a felon to possess a firearm. Only an overturning of the conviction can do that.
No. Even with an expungement, you still remain a convicted felon, and thus are prohibited from purchasing, possessing, or having access to firearms.
No. Expungement does not make your conviction go away.
no
No, not immediately afterwards. First you will have to successfully complete the entire term of your sentence. THEN, you can apply for expungement, if you are qualified to do so.
In most U.S. states, you can possess a firearm, such as while hunting or target shooting as long as you possess the firearm with permission of the owner, but you can't buy one or own one.
A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.
No.
No. If you are a convicted felon then you can not possess a firearm. However if the adjudication of guilt was withheld then you may be able to file to have the charge sealed and be eligible at that time to possess one.
No. That is not legally possible, since ALL residents may not be legally allowed to possess a gun. However, there have been a couple of cities that require each HOUSEHOLD to possess a firearm, with the exception of those that cannot possess a firearm, are too poor to possess a firearm, or have religious objections. One was Kennesaw GA.
