We have a friend of the familythat has question about firearms and don't know who to ask and hoping someone here might know the answer or at least know where or who to ask.
He's apermanent resident of the US and had a run in with the law when he was a young man in college and got charged with a felony. He was being "haised' by the frat he had joined and proceded to take their stuff and hide it in the basement in retaliation. Well, you don't do that to the frat :quirky.They charged him with a felony burglary and got it to stick.
Since the last 20 some years, he'sbeen able to expunge the felony and is now a high school teacher. He is still apermanent resident."Short story" about why he never got citenzenship. ... he was in a major auto accident that nearly killed him (he was actually pronounced dead at the scene) while he was in the process of obtaining citizenship the first time and did a couple more attemps, but each time some major life altering event ocurrs in the midle of the process and he finally figured "God is trying to tell me not to worry about that," and has just remained apermanent resident.
It seems, even thoughthe felonyis expunged, it will still show up when the schools do a background check and he has to provide the school with document showing it is expunged and a written explanation from the court.
Well, after my long winded summery ofhis history, the "$64,000 question" is: can he legally own a firearm in the state of California being only apermanent resident and having a felony in his past?
