So whats the final verdict with deferred?

[levrakshun]

I have searched all over the internet, and talked to as many people as I can without having to pay a retainer. And I have come to the conclusion that a person with a deferred felony (w/ the exception of a few charges) may purchase a firearm. Please correct me if I am wrong. there are many threads on a few diffrent forums about this matter. I just wanna know has anyone with this issue tried to purchase. they will let you know on the spot. and you have a leg to stand on if they try to give you any bullshit over it being that there is no explanation OR INTERPRETATION of this SHADY area of the law. I would just like to hear from some people that have first had experience with this matter, or PERSONALLY know someone who has. TIA!

You can purchase a weapon if you have completed the terms of the deferred adjudication. I know personally. The only caveat is can you complete this form correctly? http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-4473-1.pdf

If you have completed your period of deferred, the guilty plea with witdrawn and the case dismissed.

Therefore, there was never a conviction.
