Firearm misdemeanor
I have an opportunity to pursue flight school next year in either the U.S. or Europe because I am an LPR of the US and an EU citizen.
In 2010 I received a firearm misdemeanor for possession in Maryland. I was a resident of Georgia where carrying a handgun in a vehicle is not a crime and I inadvertently transported it while driving through Maryland. The records are set to be expunged January 31st, 2015.
Does this background automatically eliminate me from passing an FAA background check? I am unsure if the FAA can even see the records past the dates they are expunged.
Thank you.
