How do I find out if I’m barred from owning a firearm?

criminal defense attorney Pennsylvania Jul 24, 2026
Location: Pennsylvania Hello all! I made a wrong choice when I was younger and received a misdemeanor 2 punishable with up to 2 years in prison (I served 2 years probation). I’ve read conflicting things online about my eligibility to purchase a firearm and I’m trying to figure out how I can definitively find out if I’m able to own one. I attempted to contact my old attorney but he never got back to me. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
