First, a point of clarification. HYTA is not an expungement. It results in, among other things, a sealed non-public record. When purchasing a firearm, the answer would have been better to say yes, and explain that it was a HYTA conviction. Law enforcement, Courts, and gun boards can see HYTA convictions on your record, even though it is sealed and non-pulic You have at least two options. First, after a period of time, a person convicted of a felon can ask the Court to allow purchase of a firearm following the statutory provisions. Alternatively, an expungement, can be sought, followed by a Motion for return of fingerprint cards, if not done automatically by the Court.
