A co-worker of mine has been picking my brain lately about firearms and wanting to get one. There's one hang up, when he went to buy one he noticed that Corruption of Minors is a prohibiting charge. Needless to say, he didn't follow through filling out the application.

Now I've read through some other similar threads but still am a little unclear. This Corruption of Minor charge was an ARD offense and everything I've read about ARD is along the lines of "ARD stands for Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition and is a court program, typically given to first offenders who are unlikely to commit another crime. If the person successfully completes ARD then the case is dismissed and the person is considered not convicted of the crime."

If he is not considered "convicted" for a prohibiting offense, does he still have his 2A rights? I'd feel bad if I told him I thought he was good to go just to find out my research was wrong.
