A car and a pencil are both possible sources of Assault With a Deadly Weapon charge.



By the way for those who don't know: you don't have to actually touch someone to be charged with Assault. In some places even cussing somebody out will get you Assault charges. It very much depends on the COP and Prosecutor in every case.

As someone who wasn't not allowed to posses a weapon, I have a very specific list of items. An automobile or pencil is not on that list.

You could try, but it would be a waste of time. My father and I took the handgun safety course together and then went through the steps of getting our permits. I got mine, but apparently, the 34 years old streaking charge (yes, it's a felony) that my father still had on his record was and is impossible to erase

It depends on the state. You don't erase a charge or conviction, you petition to have your rights restored. Some states don't have a process for that though, or it is incredibly difficult.

Some places you can have your rights "restored" and still be a Prohibited Person when it comes to firearms. THAT sucks.
