Best Answer

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.

Can you work as an anethesioligist with an expunged felony record?

Well, let's clarify what it means to expunge a case: it means to DELETE it COMPLETELY. This means essentially THERE IS NO RECORD!! So to have a record EXPUNGED means to have it DELETED. When you have a felony record expunged it's as if it never occurred. Therefore the public cannot see the record, nor can police. And you then have the legal right to say you don't have a record (at least not that one: if you do not have any other record you have NO record). Therefore to answer your question, YES, you can work as an anesthesiologist with an expunged record.
