Will the lautenberg amendment prevent me from ever owning a gun?
There is no such thing as expunging a conviction in California; there is the phony-baloney quasi-dismissal under PC 1203.4 that unscrupulous lawyers advertise to be an expungement to make money for filing it, but it expressly does not have any effect on gun issues [nor on many other issues], and hence it is not a dismissal for purposes of the federal ban for domestic violence convictions.

In my state, you are not allowed to own a gun if you have ever been convicted of domestic violence. But you can appeal the denial, explain your situation, and occasionally they will overturn it. Occasionally.
But I don’t know about Cali.
