I've had my rights restored twice now, first thing I like to do is run right out to the nearest gun store and try to buy a gun. That's when you find out if the Feds have recognized your expungement...An expungement does make it so it cannot be held against you, however, even if everyone is doing their job at the various levels... it can take years for the court order to "naturally" filter through and be updated in all the enforcement databases.
If your attorney is on the ball... It's generally recommended that a copy of the order and a record update request be sent directly to the various law enforcement agencies... state and federal.
I don't know about this guy, but I could easily see where his name might have popped simply because his record hadn't been updated in one of the various databases(?)
