    For the most part, yes. The pardon forgives the act, the expungement wipes it from your record. (although, in reality it is still there, just marked as pardoned)

    Get a good lawyer that is familiar with gun laws and has done this before. Sounds like you have a good chance if it is done right.

    Actually I can apply for it myself. But do I need to?

    You can try and maybe screw it up. Or get a good lawyer and do it right.
    What advice are you hearing in your other thread on this subject?

    I would say it would probably be best to get a lawyer to write it up for you.
