legal gun ownership question

[Bofire]

  I put a post on this site a few years ago about a sensitive subject, not illegal, just sensitive.

Within 24 hours I got a call from a  local law enforcement agency and a Federal agency asking that I have the post deleted. The calls were both to my work phone. I did as they asked.
So, you tell me how they knew my name, ID, work phone???

Probably explains why I haven't drawn any permits since the new system started up.  I started bashing  a certain person at wdfw on this board for the permit system he stuck us with.  Haven't drawn a thing since then.

Funny Curly... Ive doen the same thing but i dont send them my extra $ any more.

It may also explain why the draw takes so long sometimes.  They probably have a list of people that they have to make sure they don't draw anything.

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.

Do it in King Co. and there's a 75% chance nothing will happen to you anyway! Truth. But, don't do that.

Yes i am able to vote now since it was expunged and the link that was posted for expungement and firearm rights is the one i used. I looked everywhere i can think of and cant find any trace of criminal record of any kind. I would like to see the whole thread deleted just in case of any issues. I appreciate those of you who replied with good advice

No I think expungement does because he didn't lose his rights in Washington only in Kalifornia. His expungement in California makes it as it never happened. Like I said check that link out I posted. If I'm wrong then he would need to go back to Kalifornia and get his rights back there. But beleive the expungement it sufficient. In washington he doesn't have to do anything because it didn't happen here. federal only comes in play if it was a federal charge I know because I've done my reasearch.
I'ts like haveing someing in Washington then years later getting your rights back then moving out of state you didn't lose them in that new state so you should be good. If you pass a nics in one state you will in the other.
If any doub't PM me and ill help!

I'm not a lawyer,but I think your fine. When buying a gun,question 11c asks have you ever been convicted of a felony,in that same box it says see exceptions,there it says if your received a pardon,expungment or set aside you can answer NO. If you are sure it was expunged I would think your ok. I had something on my record that was set aside 30yrs ago,I had no problem getting a Wa CPL and a Utah CWP.

"federal only comes in play if it was a federal charge I know because I've done my reasearch."

    this is NOT correct, any felony in any state, or a Domestic violence you lose all gun rights in all states. you better re-research.

that said I think this guy is fine but should ask a lawyer.

cpl has nothing to do If you can own or not.

What's col? Here's what I know about it,Wa state says I can have a CPL! FBI and ATF say I can buy a gun. Where's the problem?

If you relinquish your U.S. Citizenship and get a job with the Sinaloa Federation, you can come down to my new home state of Arizona and pay cash for a stack of AK-47s

Why wouldn't a CPL have anything to do with it. When you apply for a CPL they ask if you've been convicted,if you lie on that you do get a visit from a deputy and probably hauled off. They do a NICS check before issue. If your a felon you can't possess or own a gun in Wa. If the OP is sure he has a expungment I'm sure he's fine,Wa state has no way to find out. I think the only thing the guy or myself can never do is become a LEO.

Cpl allows you to carry concealed, if you are legal to own a firearm. It does not allow you to carry a firearm if prohibited
