Possibly, especially if your domestic "dispute" arrest involved assault or other violent episode it is quite likely.
As long as there was no weapons involved.also if you were convicted Illinois wont give you a foid card

When assigned a sentence of probation EVERYONE is given a set of rules and restrictions under which they must live. READ YOUR PROBATION PAPERS.
No. Criminal Domestic Violence is one of the offenses which cannot be expunged in any state.
12 to 24 volts or You could consider that it is a life sentence in that you will permanently loose your 2nd amendment rights. You will never be able to purchase a firearm or work as a police officer etc.

Yes, as long as the charge that you were either convicted of, or plead out to was a misdemeanor, excluding the following misdemeanor charges: 1. Domestic Violence 2. Assault/Battery 3.

Looks pretty black & white to me with what the FOID act says: From: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=1657&ChapAct=430& As you can see -- 5 years if just battery and you used a gun. But domestic (even without a gun) after 1997 makes it permanent. Domestic before 1997 gets a 5-year wait.
