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.

What if you were arrested but never convicted with a felony and the charges were dismissed or expunged can you get a handgun permit?
Generally speaking, yes. If you were never convicted, you can obtain a permit. If the charges were expunged, it depends. Expunged is not necessarily the same as having your rights restored.
Can a person with a valid gun permit who is charged with a felony not convicted still carry a concealed weapon with his permit since it has not been revoked?

If convicted of 4th degree felony in Ohio can you still get a concealed carry permit?
It doesn't matter. Even if the state has a liberal enough "shall issue" legislation that a convicted felon can obtain a CCW, as a convicted felon you may not purchases, possess, or have access to firearms under federal law. Ipso facto, you could potentially have a concealed carry permit, but you would not be permitted to have a gun.

If you're expecting to get gun rights back after a felony conviction, don't hold your breath. In some shall-issue states, it is possible for a convicted felon to get a concealed carry permit. However, it's still a felony for them to own, possess, or be in a situation where they have access to firearms, and the CCW doesn't negate that.
Is your concealed weapons permit valid if you were convicted of a DUI in Texas?

Unless that has been done, possession of a firearm by a felon is a serious Federal crime.
If you are convicted of a felony and adjudication is withheld does that mean that you lose your right to vote and bear arms?
If you are legally "Convicted" then Adjudication IS NOT Withheld....the whole reason for a Judge to have the option of Adj With is to stop short of convicting....IF you have a felony charge - and adjudication is withheld - you are not convicted....
