If you're not eligible to legally own a firearm before your record was expunged, you're not legally eligible to own one after it's been expunged. Having a record expunged does not make convictions go away - it just means the general public doesn't see them. But they will still show up when the background check is performed via the NICS system. That's not just California - it's federal law that a convicted felon (as well as anyone convicted of a domestic violence offense of any sort) may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. This applies to the whole of the United States.

If your record has been expunged legally, then past offences shouldn't exist for other law enforcement folks to tap into. You shouldn't be on file for anyone to check up on.

You are now what they call a "clean skin" and any future court should see you in that light.

For each state to get a misdemeanor expunged depends on what the crime was for, how long it has been since your sentence, and if you have paid all your fines and fees. Also remember that just because your record is expunged does not mean it is still not on your record. It just shows that the judge has found you guilty of the charge but you have served all your time and you are making right.
