Too many factors to give you a simple answer. This depends on whether the felony was for a Federal or State charge. For Federal, sorry, no. For State, depends on the laws in your state. It also depends on what license you want to get. For an acccurate and current answer, you need an attorney licensed to practice in your state, and not Answers.com

This ALL depends on what state you live in, and what crime you committed. In most states, you must have a clean record to possess a firearm with no felonies, so if it is a misdemeanor, it takes the time they tell you to have it expunged from your record. If it is a felony, you can NEVER own a gun legally.

If you have a felony in NJ can you ever own a firearm?
It is my understanding, that any person ever convicted of a felony, cannot legally own a firearm in the United States. Updated: it depends on the type of crime, length of time since you completed your sentence (not got paroled) and the type of firearm you want. You must first get your record expunged, which they won't do violent or domestic crimes, and then you can posses most hunting weapons but still not handguns. In order to own a handgun you must receive a pardon from the governor of the state you were convicted in.
