Do you need a pardon AND an expungement to get your gun rights back?
Technically yes, and here’s why.
Attorney Mark Walmer explains that while a pardon is what clears the conviction legally, it is the expungement that actually removes it from your record.
Once a pardon is granted, the case is typically automatically expunged, and that is what removes the barrier from your Pennsylvania State Police record.
In simple terms: The pardon opens the door and the expungement clears the path.
