Background Check and NJ PTI?
Hey all
Just got on the board recently, right after moving to PA, and this is my first time posting. Now that I'm out of NJ, I was planning on buying a gun. I used to own two when I was in the Army and stationed in GA, but that was quite a while ago. My question is regarding question #11C on the background check application: "Have you ever been convicted in any court of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned you for more then one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?" I was arrested when I was 20, for a non-violent offense. Rather then going to trial, I accepted an offer of PTI (Pre-Trial Intervention). Basically you are on probation for 6-12 months. If you have no other legal trouble during that time, the case is closed and the record is sealed. It can then later be expunged, removing it totally. I haven't ever done the expungement, but I've also never had any trouble with background checks for anything else. So, if the record is sealed, and I was never convicted of a crime, can I answer NO for that question? I'm thinking of going ahead and doing the expungment, but just wanted to get an opinion first. Someone also suggested talking to a lawyer, and getting them to do a records check to see what comes up. I think I could also just do my own records check, but I'm not sure which is the best place to start. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Contact info for a good attorney to speak to would be helpful as well.
Thanks,
Mike S.
