Technically, the expungement under 1203.4 is not an eraser of one's criminal record. What is really happening is set out in the statute: The plea of guilty or no contest is being withdrawn and a plea of not guilty is being entered, or, if there was a trial, the verdict of guilty is being set aside. In either case, the court is thereafter dismissing the charging document
You have to have your record expunge as a misdemeanor in order to restore you gun rights. So, if you have a felony, you would have to have it reduced to a misdemeanor before being expunged in order to restore you gun rights. Make no mistake though, a judge can expunge your record and not restore you gun rigths by denying the reduction motion but granting the expungement.
