Ca, Security Guard Denied for Firearms permit. PC M273.5(A) Weapons, Guns, Firearms

Pursuant to state and federal law, you will not be eligible to possess or own a firearm unless any state expungement order SPECIFICALLY restores your right to a firearm.

And I don't know who you spoke to at the Bureau of Firearms, but a conviction for PC 273.5 - even as a misdemeanor IS a disqualifying conviction for ten years pursuant to PC 12021(c)(1). And, pursuant to federal law (18 USC 922(g)(9)) a misdemeanor conviction for DV also prohibits you from possessing a firearm. The federal law is only waived if the state expungement specifically grants a restoration of firearms rights (and they typically do not), or - as I understand it - the time period of the prohibition has run (in the case of CA it is 10 years).

You might consider employing an attorney to help you negotiate this path.
