simple assault m2
I am interested in buying a handgun and have a simple assault misdemeanor 2 charge on my record from 15yrs ago and have the following questions,
1 Does this prevent me from owning a handgun?
2 If so,can it be appealed or will having it expunged help?
Any help in this matter will be appreciated
thank you
J

Re: simple assault m2
1. Doubtfully. See http://forum.pafoa.org/pennsylvania-...ml#post1436650. Assuming your case was in Pennsylvania, please look up your docket at http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CP.aspx and verify the grading. Also confirm whether you were convicted, which your statement of "have a simple assault misdemeanor 2 charge" does not make clear.
2. What do you think there is to appeal? Also, if you were convicted, there is no opportunity for expungment. If you weren't convicted then having been charged with the crime is not under consideration for the prohibition.

Re: simple assault m2
Anyone in this situation needs to talk with a lawyer. If you think you're right but miss a detail the State Police will arrest you for a felony. It's too serious to take a chance. There are some loopholes and confusing wording in the statutes (punishable by more than one year is actually defined as punishable by more than two years - incredibly confusing) and now there is a new possibility of a federal expungement, which was not available before. Also, you can't just check state law as federal law also applies and they are different. Many people read the state law, see that their charge is not listed, and think they are eligible, only to be arrested for violating federal prohibitions on possession of firearms.

This thread is over 11 years old, is this an ad for Fairlie & Lippy, or what?
