QUESTION
Can I own a firearm of any kind (rifle, shotgun or pistol) or do I need to try and get my record expunged?
Asked on Dec 17th, 2014 on Expungements - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was convicted of 2 felonies for second degree theft over 20 years ago (no weapons involved). They don't come up on any searches by myself or jobs. Should I just go to the local gun dealer and try and see what happens?

You can not get it expunged. Read the felon-in-possession law I have linked below to know how the law applies in your particular case. http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(b3vxd5iqp5f3kv55retbub45))/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-750-224f

I would think you proposed action is unwise. See an attorney to seek to have your convictions expunged or set aside. Then, and only then, seek to purchase a firearm.
