Is it possible to background check myself?
Since turning 18 I have bought and sold dozens of firearms and probably around another dozen or so NFA weapons. Somewhere around 19 or so (I'm 33 now) I was charged with some kind of a trespassing violation. I went to court and pled "adjudication withheld" and paid a fine of $100 or so.
This has never been a problem for me purchasing firearms and the whole thing seems pretty minor. However It is always something I put down when applying for a job. I know it is still of record at the local county courthouse because I got a copy of it when I applied with the state for my professional license. My employer background checks everyone every 2 years as a standard procedure. This year on the consent to be background checked there was a box I checked to have the results sent to my house.
A few months later the results came in and there was nothing on it. I was thinking of having an attorney expunge this from my record so I no longer need to even put it there when applying for jobs. But there's no point of paying an attorney if it isn't even there.
Is there a way I can background my self to see if it comes up. I don't want to waste money on an attorney for something that isn't even there.
Thanks, Dan
