How long does a felony charge stay on your record in the state of AZ and how can it be removed from your records?

A felony conviction record is forever unless it is expunged. If you qualify for expungement you can have the offense expunged. HOWEVER - an expungement only hides the conviction from the general public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to it which would prevent you from ever possessing a firearm.
