legal gun ownership question

[Firedogg]

You might think it's anonymous, you'd be surprised who knows you by what/where/who and what you talk about and show in posts.

If you bought your guns from a store, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Can you vote?

You more than likely admitted to a crime publicly.  CA law and what you did there with respect to expungment will dictate.  If you had an attorney for the expungment,  I'd call them first as they will know their jurisdiction best.

Most police officers have no clue about gun laws. Go to an attorney.

 Pope isn't a police officer, he is a attorney.

Who is Seansfire? This forum provides anonymity. You're probably not going to get in trouble for posting what you did, but you should seek legal advice immediately.  Because of I-594 you can't loan/stash your firearms either, correct? 

You could put them in your parents, or brother/sisters safe for "safe keeping" till you sort things out.

I had a felony out of the state of california that i had expunged a few years back and now have a couple guns and have had a couple people say i am legal to have them and others who say i am not. Anyone know for sure on here ? Lookin for cops or someone who really knows.

Certainly wouldn't hurt to get a lawyers advice. Expungement not sure, I think since an Expungement is kind of like it never happened, almost like a pardon, but never know. I know, and depending on which state it was from you should be legal there although Kalifornia who knows . Look on the net by state and see what they do as for honoring such things. As just a personal opinon, but do know something on these I'd say ya your ok, but still.

If you have lost your firearms rights by Superior Court order due to a felony conviction and do not have a superior court order reinstating your gun rights, you would be wise not to possess a gun as it is a new felony. This is the same whether you were convicted as a juvenile or adult.

I don't know your specific situation, but also keep in mind that even having your record sealed does not reinstate your gun rights -  in fact in can make it even more of a pain to get them reinstated since the cause # will be sealed. Washington now has a new statute relate to  the administrative sealing of juvenile cases and I'm convinced they didn't think that one through, but that's a whole different rabbit trail.

I suggest you contact an attorney to go over the specifics of your situation.

If you think that this forum provides anonymity in the event of criminal investigations I've got some property for sale I think you would be interested in.

How can the Gov't know who is who when we're allowed to use fake names? Sure they can probably trace IP addresses and if you wanted you could use a public computer or open WiFi to skirt that.  Hell I'm typing this via my mobile phone.  Can they trace this? I don't know and don't care.  I'm full blown law abiding with nothing to hide.  That's why I used my real name when I signed up.  You don't find me trolling around being Mr. Negative, insulting others, or reducing the integrity of this forum.  But Silverslinger - you quickly jumped out and insulted my intelligence.  You did provide quality feedback to the OP which is what this forum is about, but why the sny remark?  Is it because your identity is hidden? Anonymity is killing online social spheres, let's not degrade this forum please.

Nothing typed on to ANY forum, email, txt or website is anonymous... And will likely be accessible to some one forever.

When you think about that it should alter they way you say things online.

It wouldn't be very difficult for LE to find out any one of our identity if they wanted to.  All it takes is a warrant/subpoena for user info from the site and they have your email address which can then be traced back to each person.  That's all assuming that they want to pursue it however.  Either way the best bet is to talk to a lawyer and find out for sure.

Go try to buy a gun in store and see if you pass the background check  that'll tell ya.

Silverslinger is right, that's how it works for WA crimes anyways.  Having your record expunged does not restore your rights, you have to make action to get them restored.

Jackelope - they switched that law a few years back, felons can vote now.
