One way to know for sure is to fill out the application to buy a gun. The state will run a background check and they will let the gun shop know if you're legally allowed to buy a gun or not.
Even though you may no longer have a criminal record, your arrest will still be in government data banks. A potential employer may "see" you have a "clean record", but the state will still know what you were arrested for and they will decide accordingly.

You will always have a record. Whether or not you can purchase a gun will depend on the laws in your state. They will still run a criminal backgrond check on you when you complete the paperwork. Why do you want to purchase a gun anyway? Is it a need or is it a want? I'm a former police officer and I don't own a gun. So, why do you want one. You've been in trouble already, why present the opportunity for more trouble to land on your doorsteps -- think about it.

Here is how you can know if you are legally able to buy a gun.
#1. TRUTHFULLY read the questions on ATF form 4473 and see if any of them apply to you.
#2. Go to a gun store, fill out a 4473, and see if you pass the NCIC background check.
If both conditions are met then you're legal. Keep in mind that if you lie on the 4473, even if you pass the NCIC check, you are still breaking the law.

What in the hell do you need a gun for? "I'm finished my probation..." blablabla Have you considered that maybe you have a propensity toward misdeeds? You wanna a gun? Go join the military and at least get some discipline, too...

if you have been convicted of a crime that you COULD have gone to jail for more than a year, or have been convicted of abusing any member of your family, then no. the end of your probation has no affect on the federal regulations regarding who can legally buy a gun.

2 words that should NEVER be used in the same sentance, Criminal and Gun.

Well, when you hold up the next 711, just pretend you have a gun in your jacket pocket.

No! No1 No!
I certainly hope not, based on your record and your inability to communicate.
