A: That charge is worse than some felonies. You need to check with the Court Clerk and examine the actual Warrant. Look at the Disposition by the Judge. If it is a conviction, it will be permanent. If it was dismissed, expunge it. Good Luck !!!

A: If it is a conviction, then you might consult with a NRA referral attorney. You need to know what legal weapons you can possess.
