An executive order restoring citizenship rights to a felon does not authorize the felon to possess a firearm under Iowa law, unless the order explicitly states the person is authorized to do so. It is highly unlikely a felon will ever receive such authorization.

A convicted felon cant own a firearm in the United States.
I guess you could try to join the Army?........
--------------------------------------------
Added: In SOME states felons convicted of statecrimes can gain partial restoration of firearms privileges. However Federally convicted felons can NEVER regain firearms privileges. Congress has continuously failed to fund any federal process by which federally convicted felons can do so.
----------------------------------------------
Forget about joining the Army, they do not take felons.
First, we need to establish if we're talking about an actual ex-felon here, or just a felon ex-convict.
An ex-felon would have had their conviction overturned - hence, they would no longer be a felon, and restoring gun rights would be a simple matter of getting it on file.
In the case of a convicted felon who completed their sentence, they remain a felon. What's relevant here is if they're a state felon or a federal felon. Some states have crimes listed as felonies which are not felonies under federal law (e.g., multiple DUIs, child support payments, etc.). In the case of those, it is possible to apply for relief of disability - contact an attorney, and they get it sorted out from there. In the case of a federal felon, it refers to anyone convicted of something which was a crime under federal law - hence, it's a felony under state law, as well. There is no chance for relief of disability in those instances.
Start by hiring an attorney- you will need one to petition for restoration of rights. The process varies state to state.
It makes no difference in which state the felon resides, it is a violation of FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18) for convicted felons to ever own or possess firearms or ammunition.
He doesn't. If he's a convicted felon it probably means he is a colored man and therefore has no rights to anything.
Start by hiring an attorney to file a petition with the correct agency for a restoration of firearms rights. You WILL need an attorney.

Yes!
If you are convicted FEDERAL felon, you can't. If you are convicted state felon, and you qualify you can make application for exopungement. See below link:
refer the question to an attorney with regard to criminal record expungement...........
Suspension of the right to own firearms is a Federal matter, not a state matter.
Have your record expunged or the conviction overturned.
This is a question you need to discuss with a lawyer.
Convicted felons can sometimes get their gun rights restored. Check with a local attorney familiar with the process.
If you are a federally convicted felon there is no way. No mechanism exists to restore firearm rights to convicted federal felons.If you are state convicted - it depends entirely on which state you live in and/or which state convicted you. SOME states will restore limited firearm rights - others will not restore them at all.Your best course of action is contact an attorney in your state for consultation.
As far as federal law is concerned a convicted felon is a convicted felon, period. And there is no provision in federal law for such a restoration. However, some states view your situation differently and do return some LIMITED rights to you. You would have to contact your State Police to detemine if MO is such a state.
