So a single, individual Trooper has the final say? No review of his recommendation?
he’s prohibited in Md, not in California.
Here's a link to a very good explanation of how CA's expungement process works:
https://www.shouselaw.com/expungement-will-not-do.html
Note that it clearly states the CA expungement process will NOT restore one's 2A rights if the charge was related to certain felonies and misdemeanors related to sex, assault, robbery, firearm, and drugs. My computer related charge was for browsing and posting on internet car chat forums, posting SFW pictures in discussions while at work (seriously even the judge was like why are you here?).
Like I said, did not have any issues with buying and owning these handguns in CA, but the MSP trooper on my application felt that the MD gun law applied in my case and issued a denial.
Ok I re read the thread and see he already changed his plee. In that case he still needs to get a lawyer to clear it up because technically he’s still prohibited. I would not be building any P80’s until then.No he is not. His conviction was removed by having the 1204.3 in CA. (Think PBJ)
This was a mistake by MSP or something still showed up in the federal database that shouldn't be there.
I'm pretty sure a 2A lawyer could get this fixed really quickly.

Per request this is what I gave up:
as you may gather I'm a German/Italian fan.
I have already been talking to Ed Hershon but he apparently is very busy and couldn't call me Tuesday as planned so I'll follow up with him next week. After reading your comments I'm more cautiously optimistic about my chances now, hopefully it'll be cleared up soon.
I think you need to decide whether you want to take it to court (years) or get out of Maryland. The governments of both Maryland and California will never willingly allow you to exercise your rights, and that includes the courts in both states. Your time, and your dime.
If I was you I'd gtfo and go someplace with a government and a large percentage of the population that doesn't despise you. If not you'll spend the next ten years disenfranchised and in court trying to change a system which will probably just get game f*cked again by another batch of sh*tty legislators, judges and bureaucrats.
Maryland. It never fails to disappoint. Really sorry to hear you are getting rolled by your own government.
Screw Maryland. FIGHT BACK!

The one funny thing I can think of from my experience is I've never seen any government agency act so quickly. I mean if our government could replicate the speed in which the MSP showed up at my doors to take away my legally purchased property, we wouldn't have poverty, crime, and declining education system.
You said you filled out a 77R for guns you already own? That isn’t even a requirement, you should have done the MD new resident voluntary registration. The 77R even says it is not for new resident registration.
