It makes no difference if it was a gun felony, or not. The only thing that matters is if it was a felony offense.

To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence. Then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth your valid reason(s) why the request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies, will always have access to your actual 'true' record.

FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your expungement is granted you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions state and Federal Laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). UNLESS - you are a resident of a state which partially or completely restores your "privileges" (you will have to do your own research to learn if this applies to your state).

FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore to you, if you were convicted in FEDERAL Court of a FEDERAL FELONY it will not matter. It is a felony offense for any federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm, regardless of what your state may do. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for the illegal possession of a firearm (including black powder weapons) a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison, in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has continually denied funds this purpose, thereby effectively eliminating the review of federal felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges.

Is it possibe to have a felony charge removed from your record in Michigan?

if you wasnt convicted then just file to get it expunged. If you was convicted your best bet is to write a letter to the judge and see if he can withhold your adjudication but your last resort would mean to get a pardon from the state clemency witch is not something easy to do and you can get turned down very easily and most likely will unless you achieved a mess of stuff between the time you have been out and now and it has to be atleast 10 years old. there can be other ways just do more research but don't hold your breath. last but not least if its a second degree or higher felony or if its a violent felony, i wouldn't even waste my time but you will never know until you try. Good luck friend

What are the qualifications for an DUI expungement in KY?

That is not correct. After 5 years, if there were no aggravating circumstances and no other offenses in that period of time you may apply to the court to have the charge expunged from your criminal record. The charge is automatically off your driving record after 5 years. I confirmed this information with an attorney. Those are non expungable. If you was convicted of it then its stuck on their. Even when you wasnt convicted, its still hard to get it expunged because states really frown on dui. But you can always still try
