Check with a local lawyer to be sure.

In general terms, a sealed record still is a record, just not accessible to the public. Usually, a restoration of gun rights requires that a record be expunged rather than sealed.

Another View: In terms of being sealed or expunged it makes little difference. Such records, when sealed or expunged only render them unavailable to members of the general public.

The courts, law enforcement, and government agencies always have access rights to these records. You would have to obtain a pardon from the governor of the state in order to qualify.

Your criminal record is permanent, although a case resolved in juvenile court will be absolutely sealed (there are some exceptions even in juvenile court).
