CA Dept of Justice Rights Violation

I have a problem with the Dept of Justice here in CA. They denied my last dros and are saying I'm a convicted felon, which I am not. They said the burden of proof is on me to prove I am not a felon on a misdemeanor case from 22 years ago. I was with a guy that stole a radio out of a car, and we both went to jail for 459pcBFMV. I went to the court as they asked, and got a couple letters, stating it was a misdemeanor and that I have no felony convictions. The DOJ does not accept my official superior Court documents, they say they have "conflicting information" The DOJ is walking all over my rights. I talked to the attorney that represented me on the case, and he confirms that it was a misdemeanor. I may need an attorney to help clear this up. Any help would be appreciated. I have purchased 15 rifles and 1 pistol over the last year and a half. I did a personal weapons check first. The DOJ said it was okay for me to purchase and own guns. This is something "new, out of the blue". Is this a common trick used by the DOJ to deny people their rights? They have delayed me for 4 months now, it's not right. If it were true, that I was a convicted felon, that would mean I am a felon in posession of 15 illegal rifles. 15 felonies, and 15 more felonies for lying on the dros forms. I really dont want them coming to confiscate my rifles and pistol. (for absolutely no reason) Does the DOJ think I am so stupid, I would risk my freedom and losing my rifles by lying about my past? I would really like some profesional help on this. Thanks. -William

If you want sound advice, move your arms to an "undisclosed" location right along with ammo, until you get this sorted out.
I just got a call from the DOJ, stating that this matter should be cleared up by tomorrow. I dont know if I believe them, or they are trying to make me think all is fine, and they are coming to take my rifles away. I dont know what to think, the DOJ knows I'm not a felon. In no way, shape or form. I guess I'll know in a few days, the lady claimed she was going to make a letter of approval for my firearms dealer, and I would have to re-dros at no charge. We shall see if they speak the truth. Sorry to be lengthy, but when someone labels you a felon, especially the DOJ it had me pretty worried.
That is what my wife said. But if they call me, and say "Mr. Henderson we would like you to surrender your weapons." What am I going to do? Say no? They would come get me. So I'm not to fond of the idea of hiding the rifles. Thank you for your time and your input I sincerely appreciate it. I may hide the all my uppers though. If I take my Son to the range and get pulled over on a traffic stop, the officer will check me and think I am a felon and take me and my guns in handcuffs. Not what I want to happen.

WELL, IF I were confronted about arms I HAD owned (before I sold them ) I would have to tell them I don't own anymore.
