Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

real confused

lets say u are arrested when u were 17 for a gun possesion,and told that you would lose your gun privilages forever since it was a felony-well its 10 years later and i tried seein if i can petition it or something,and its not on my record any longer.....im kind of confused? did it drop off, or was it never on there? and similair to another question i read,can i buy a gun?i went with an attorney who said he could expunge it,but then checked my record and saw that i was arrested for it when i was 17 but it said nothing about me losing my right to own a gun------has anybody seen anything like this before?

I answered your last post- it just depends on the adjudication. you need to check that.

It seems like you were most likely charged when you were a juvenile, in that case you would never have lost your right to vote. I would get a criminal background check done and take it to an attorney for a review.
