Hello. I m from California. I recently tried to buy a gun and was denied by the DOJ. When the letter came to explain why, it said the cause of denial was battery. When I was 14 years old I got in a fight and was charged with misdemeanor attempted battery. That was 8 years ago. I am aware that you must wait a period of 10 years after a violent conviction to purchase a gun in California. My question is, can I expunge my juvenile record and re apply for a background check ? Can I appeal this in any way ? ( the party who had pressed charges on me has actually forgiven me and is willing to do so in court, if possible to help me)or Am I going to have to wait another 2-3 years? All I wanted was to be an armed guard and move up in my field of work. this is a service pistol, Glock-19. I haven't been in trouble since then. The only thing bumming me out and motivating me to try and fight it, is the 200$ Restocking fee the gun store wants to charge me for basically nothing. I feel pretty fucked over. So I'm 200 dollars out for attempting to buy a gun. I know I should have expunged my record at 18 to be safe. Any advice or positive words would help

Thank you
