Sealing only protects privacy interests. Does nothing for you. Your Chicago attorney is clueless, as most are regarding gun laws. Even though it's really very simple. You being convicted of a felony are a "prohibited person". Expungement isn't an option for you. only a pardon from your governor will make you eligible again. Or you could get a job in law enforcement, no joke, since they created 4th degree felonies, nearly every employer has had to reconsider hiring "felons".
