IF your conviction was for a State crime, you MAY be able to petition for restoration of gun rights. This WILL require an attorney. Be sure to get this right, since the penalty for being a felon in possession is 5 years in a Federal prison. Process will vary state to state- which is why you need an attorney. If your conviction was for a Federal felony, unless you have received a Presidential pardon, there is no way to remove that bar.
