Simple really, 18 years old, my roommate was growing pot in his closet. Word got out and they searched the house. In my room I had 7 rifles. I also had one of his lights sitting in my closet for storage. I knewit was in his room, didn't bother me much. In the shared living space of the house they found evidence of marijuana. Because I was aware of this, and they had evidence linking my room to his I was looking at a felony charge. I chose to take the plea offer. The offer wasif I would plea guilty they would ignore the weapons - as this is a 2 year enhancement.
In hind site I should have fought it, but I was 18. If I had lost I would have served time in prison. This was 10 or so years ago. There is a 7 year waiting period, at which time that information can be sealed, and you can petition for your rights.
After a 7 year period the crime is not on your public record, but there is not a weapons clear. They know your rights are revoked, but don't know why. Have nothing to hide, although having your right restored is the proper way to go.
When I was arrested I thought the worst that would happen(beings I was eligible to have my rights restored) was to tell me to have them reinstated by my next court date and the charges would be dropped.
So I am now in waiting for another 2 years before I can petition to have them restored. I am very pro rights, if I am not doing anything wrong, thats it. They should not have been violated, by the city, state or anyone else.
Its not justifiable why I had them without having my rights restored, that is something I failed to do. Had it been a different person in that situation, their right shouldnot have been infringed either.
