DWI is a felony under state law, not federal. You would have to apply for relief of disability with your state, which may approve or deny it. Without that, however, you, as a felon, cannot legally own, possess, or be allowed access to firearms, ammunition, or ballistic vests.

No. If there has not been a legal action to pardon, expunge or restore firearm rights, conviction of ANY felony is a bar to POSSESSING a firearm, and to the purchase of one. Forever. That has been law in the entire US since 1968.

I wouldn't want to try. Talk to a lawyer, if that is your only offense and you weren't adjudicated guilty, you might be able to get it sealed and expunged.
