It depends on the state as restrictions vary from state to state on the purchasing of a handgun. In Indiana, for example, the answer is not a simple yes or no question. If it is your first DUI and it was not a felony DUI, then you should be able to purchase a firearm. However, there might be a three day wait. I suggest you put your social security number on the application. However, if you are on probation, you aren't typically allowed to have a firearm at your residence in case probation police officers decide to come search your house. It's rare for it to happen for DUI people on probation, but it is usually on the paperwork. If you have more than one DUI within a certain timeframe (in Indiana it's 5yrs) it's an automatic felony charge and you would need a lawyer to get that dropped to a misdemeanor.
