I was convicted of 3 class A felony’s when I was 16, and tried as a adult and I’m 44 yrs now can I get them expunged?

Yes, there is an expungement process that involves going to your local police department and getting a fingerprint card that has to go to the Oregon State Police for a background check. Once the OSP has dome their thing, you need to get an attorney to prepare and submit a motion for expungement to the same court where you were tried when you were 16. That motion gets served on the District Attorney in that county. If the back ground check shows that you have no criminal charges since the original case, the DA will probably not oppose the motion and it will be granted. Once it is granted, you can re-apply for a CHL but you do need to take the class (I would also recommend that you take the Oegon Hunter's safety class and look around for any club in your area that has Cowboy Action Shooting or Practical Pistol Shooting (See USPSA website for Oregon locations in Area 1).
