Welcome to the board.

I'm having a heckuva time understanding your post.
Immana show you how much better it looks with traditional paragraphs and some more punctuation:

Hello to all
In 2006 I plead guilty to 3rd degree burglary in NJ. By the way I was and have been a PA residence.

I was sentenced to one year probation and completed my probation in July of 2008.

I filed for expungement back in September under the early expungement program that NJ offers given the consideration of your character and conduct since the time of your arrest.

til now I haven't been in any other trouble. I worked as a emt in Philadelphia for 8 years.

I am active in the community being a member of the Prince Hall Freemasons.

Given the consideration my expungement is granted. which is looking on the upside, will I be able to purchase a firearm in the state of Pennsylvania and apply for my license to carry?

Any other questions please feel free to ask and thank you ahead of time for any responses.

Take care.


If expunged... and you have documentation saying so...it can be done. Talk to a Lawyer.

DO NOT FILL OUT AND SUBMIT the forms until you have paid a pro to share expertise on the matter.

Don't screw up the process at this stage. Get it right the first time, because doing it Rong has permanent consequences.

Congratulations on living a better life.

Yes, welcome aboard. Mark's right. It's wise to get a lawyer to help you through the process. Glad to hear you're working to turn your life around. I hope everything works out.

What you got doesn't matter. It's what the max penalty could have been. You need a lawyer.

Ooooh, you lose TWICE.

Merriam-Webster says that "FBI" is an acronym. Sort of like LTCF.

FBI is an initialism.
NATO is an acronym.

Thanks you Mark for your input. I apologize for not using periods etc was typing on my phone and thank you for the encouragement for continuing to better myself. My expungement is going to be granted courts are in favor and so is the prosecutor. I have to wait for my last court date next month.
