Two years ago I pleaded No Contest to PC 242 Simple Battery,
misdemeanor. I was told afterwards that I would be banned
from owning or possessing firearms for ten years. I have now
completed my probation and got the conviction overturned and
expunged.

Now I'm being told that even after expungment since I was
convicted of 242 it fell under the Section 12021 which means
I still can't own a firearm for eight more years.

The battery charge did not involve firearms, or even actual
physical violence. I have never been charged or convicted of
any crime before or since. I have never even been arrested
before in my life, for this or any reason. I need to own
firearms for work as a Private Security Officer, as it is
the only job I have been able to find in the last three years.

I am currently filing a petition to the judge to grant me
relief of the Section 12021 prohibition and restore my right
to own firearms in California. Do I have ANY chance by doing so?
