You will have to check with your own particular state's laws on this. Some states will expunge Domestic Violence convictions and some won't. Even if the offense is expunged that does not mean it 'disappears,' it only means that the general public won't be able to see it. Law enforcement, the courts and government agencies will still have access to your "true" record and that may prove to be your stumbling block to firearms ownership.

Domestic violence is one of the few crimes that is not expungable, therefore, no.

If you are prohibited because of a felony, having the felony expunged does not restore your rights. You must petition to have your rights restored.
