What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ
All, I was convicted of Disorderly Conduct - DV in 2002.
In 2008 I petitioned the court to have my conviction "set aside". The court approved and my conviction was "set aside". I verified this by obtaining my public records.
This is the only time I have ever been arrested and is the only conviction I have ever received.
It is my understanding that the "set aside" doesn't alter my ability to NOT be allowed to legally posses a firearm.
I should note that at no time during the criminal hearing was I informed that by accepting the conviction - I would loose my gun rights.
So.... am I correct that the "set aside" doesn't alter the restriction that I may not legally posses a firearm ?
Is there any legal solution that would allow me to regain my firearms rights ?
Thanks for feedback.
Bob
