Once a person has satisfied the time on a felony deferred adjudication judgment is it as though the charges never happened? This would be in regard to firearms ownership and or possession.

Deferred Adjudication is not really a conviction like confinement of probation. it does not prohibit firearm ownership. As long as family violence is not involved.

Just to be clear this is not about me, it’s a question about a person that has been showing up at a few gatherings of friends.
I guess the question should be if the person were to be run through the system, would the felony conviction show on the return?

When a person completes deferred probation and is discharged, there is no conviction for that offense.

Just to be clear, the arrest will still be on his/her record, just no conviction.

A deferred felony can't be used as a previous conviction for an enhancement when filing a new criminal case with any district attorney's office, many times though I have seen it prevent a person from passing the NIC system when trying to purchase a firearm.

It’ll still show on a background check, assuming they haven’t had the record sealed. Even if it is sealed it’ll still show on any federal check or pd check, just not employer or internet search type scenarios

This. We had to charge a kid with UCW instead of felon in possession the other day due deferred.

The rest of the story is that the individual has expressed interest in going with some of the group on different hunts and some were concerned about what would transpire upon confrontation with LE, BP or Game Warden. (including myself). That whole felon in possession of a firearm thing.
And no, I’m not calling an attorney about this.

If you're worried then exclude him.

Since this IS a public forum, you just lost plausible deniability. Seeking actual legal advice is not an option you say. So now you are down to just the odds 50/50 right?

For traffic offenses, once it’s completed successfully, it’s as if it never happened. I’m not sure in felony cases, but it seems that it should be the same.

Well, my thinking was that the LEO’s would know as they deal with this on a daily basis.

It all comes down to how comfortable you are that you have accurate information from him. As long as he has been successfully discharged from his deferred probation, he has no other felonies, and he doesn't have an active protective order against him, he will be fine under state law. That may or may not be the case under federal law. State law allows a person to have a firearm after a domestic violence conviction as long as the person has been completely off paper for five years. Federal law doesn't. State law also has a provision that allows convicted felons to possess firearms on their own property when they've been completely off paper for five years but federal law has no such provision. The point being federal law and state law don't always mesh.

^^^^^ This ^^^^^

Sounds like there is more concerns about this person than the deferred adjudication.
You said “ upon confrontation with LE, BP or Game Warden. (including myself)
That should answer any question you have about being around this person.

Also, if I were you I would not consider selling him a firearm; not that you are.
