Should be in the legal section but hey! :)

My opinion and advise it worth exactly what your paying for it BUT a friend is going threw this now. In his case, he can not get his record expunged here in Michigan because he has one felony and one misdemeanor. Looks like Michigan allows for expungement of a felony IF you have no other convictions including misdemeanors on your record.

Copied from another source:

Multiple Convictions - Misdemeanors

A person who is convicted of not more than one offense may file an application with the convicting court for the entry of an order setting aside the conviction. A person may have only one conviction expunged. Thus, a person convicted of only one offense may obtain expungement, but a person convicted of more than one offense may not obtain expungement. Multiple offenses which disqualify a person from expungement include any convictions, whether misdemeanor or felony. MCL 780.621(1)

So basically, do you have more than one adult criminal conviction or more than one juvenile adjudication? If so, you cannot get your criminal record expunged. It does not matter if only one of the crimes is a felony. Even if only one of the crimes is serious, you cannot get an expungement.

This was good for a read too:

I'm actually applying for the "pardon after completion of sentence" which isnt as strict as an expungment and free to do yourself. I dont know if that would restore gun rights though in and of itself.

That plus if possible I'd like to get the gun rights seperate while its pending(some take years to push through) anyone know of anyone without an expungment who had gunrights returned?

Just the way society is at sad just remember you reap what you sow

O.K., for all you boys and girls out there. Here is the real poop on this matter...
Michigan law says the concealed weapons board has the jurisdiction to restore gun rights. In order to apply with the Michigan gun board you must first take a the firearm safety course and submit the certificate with the application. Your answer from gun board will arrive within 45-days.
Section 28.424 of Act 372 of 1927 tells you the gun board has jurisdiction to restore gun rights after a person has been convicted of a felony. (Even OUIL 3rd)
Section 750-224f of Act 328 of 1931 further goes on to tell you the gun board can restore your gun rights after a felony provided the following:
The expiration of either 3 or 5 years (Depending on seriousness of felony)
a. The person has paid all fines imposed for the violations.
b. The person has served all terms of imprisonment imposed for the violation.
c. The person has successfully completed all conditions of probation or parole imposed for the violation.
However, after submitting the above two sections of Michigan Law and the completed firearms training certificate to the Michigan gun board, they will send you a denial letter stating that your OUIL 3rd conviction is a permanent denial for a CPL. And further tells you that If you have the conviction completely set aside, you may reapply for CPL licensing. However, section 28.424 says that if the gun board denies you, you can file a petition with the circuit court.
By the way, Michigan does not, and has never provided for the setting aside of OUIL 3rd conviction and only a governors pardon could provide this setting aside provision and remember this, the governor has never pardoned any OUIL 3rd conviction.
Bottom Line? The law allows for gun right restoration from the Michigan gun board. The gun boards decision will be dependent upon which County gun board you are applying to. If all else fails you can petition the circuit court based on Section 28.424 of Michigan Law.
Print this out and provide to your attorney for help. Your attorney probably never knew about these above laws. I've been researching this issue since 1998 and still have not had my gun rights reinstated.
We live in a society of laws of which our government tends not to follow in favor of the people!
I hope this helps...
