Thanks to all

Easy, if not exactly timely, answer is to do a PFEC...

Fill it in, send in a $20 check... you'll eventually get your answer.

If they say you can't because of the prior conviction, make sure you have your dismissal info to challenge the denial.

I believe so, however, +1 to the above post..

not sure what that section is, but most misdemeanors do not affect firearms ownership, and of those that doe affect firearms ownership, most only have around a 10-year prohibition, which you are already past.

So, read this section, http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/12020.php , and see exactly what the code says.

Thanks. I now live out of state but I am still curious.

Would appreciate any and all feedback.

Check out the link in the first post. Then go to the State Attorney General's website for the state you currently live in and see if they have anything like it. If you can't find a request form like it, then contact your SAG's office and see what procedure your state has for finding out if you can own. Local FFL dealers may also be able to help you.

You can get your juvenile record sealed as well...
