Well, there's a lot of variables. The first being whether or not the case is dismissed or is still ongoing. If it's ongoing, you may not own, purchase, or possess a firearm.
The next question would be whether or not you were convicted of anything at all. Some misdemeanor charges will invalidate you from owning or possessing firearms (e.g., domestic violence).
In the United States, individuals who are not convicted of a felony are typically able to legally purchase a gun. However, there are other factors that can disqualify someone from gun ownership, such as certain domestic violence convictions or mental health issues. It's important to check local laws and regulations for specific requirements.
Under US law, several things will disqualify you from legally possessing a firearm- rifle, pistol or shotgun. One of them is to be CONVICTED of a felony, or a crime of domestic violence. A person that was charged but not convicted has not been convicted. Other legal circumstances can include being under a restraining order, under indictment, or being a fugitive from justice.
Depends on the jurisdiction and circumstances of your arrest. Your best bet would be to inquire at the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over your residence. Also depends what type of weapon you're purchasing and its intended use. If you are a convicted felon, your chances are (a) slim; and (b) none.
This is a confusing question. I'll answer it both ways that I interpret it, so you can decide if one of them works for you. First: if you have a felony on your record, you have been convicted. That's what it means to have a record. In the event of a felony conviction, it is a criminal violation to be in possession of a firearm. "Possession" is defined differently in different jurisdictions, and in reality differently depending on how the prosecutor wants to procede. Second: If by record you mean that there is a felony arrest record but no conviction because charges were dropped, there was a mistrial that was never successfully ajudicated, or you were acquitted, then you still have your Second Amendment rights, and may not only possess but own a legally registered firearm.
Depending on the circumstances the answer can be yes or no.
it depends what state you are convicted in, and what state you are trying to buy it in. but usually you can't
It depends. In the U.S. a felony on your record is not the only disqualification for purchasing a gun, so, it's possible to not be a felon, but still be disqualified to purchase a gun.
No. The background check would reveal the charges against you and automatically disqualify you.
No
A felony is a crime that is serious enough to get a jail sentence of more than one year. Obvious felonies are murder, robbery, and rape.Jack committed a felony when he robbed the bank.

Yes, a convicted felon can file a tax return. Having a criminal record does not disqualify someone from fulfilling their tax obligation to report income earned. It is important for all individuals, regardless of past convictions, to comply with tax laws.
If CONVICTED of a felony, no. However, if convicted of a misdemeanor, yes- unless it was for a crime of domestic violence.
If you have a pending felony case, no. If you've been convicted of a felony, no. If you've been acquitted of a felony, then you can.
If the case has closed without a finding of guilty, you have not been convicted of a disqualifying offense. You would be able to buy a gun.
You problably can, just make sure you have a permit and are legal of age.
In most, if not all cases, no. Felony crimes are usually violent in nature, or carry longer prison sentences, and bar people convicted of a felony to buy, own or use firearms.

Laws vary from state to state, but in most jurisdictions you cannot legally own a gun if you have been convicted of a felony, unless your gun rights have been legally restored.
