Your record is your record forever, it will never be wiped out
by time. If you are interested in getting gun privileges,
talk to an attorney who can better explain the laws and
process of expungement,etc. Even if your state has the
statutes (laws) to expunge, it's usually up to the courts
whether to do it or not. Most of the states will decline to
do it if drugs are involved.
