More details to this question:
My husband had a felony 21 years ago and is under the impression that he cannot have a firearm for the rest of his life. I did some looking but I'm just looking for some clarification that I am reading this correctly that as long as all of these things have been satisfied it does not bar him from having one or me having one in the home? If he wanted to purchase one, he would need to have it expunged and have the paperwork proving so for the ATF form?http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(hz2svi0uueqqujvh0tkpwsqu))/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&objectname=mcl-750-224f

You are correct in your conclusion that he should seek to exunge his felony conviction. Once expunged, he can truthfully answer that he has never been convicted of a felony.
