Depends on what you have been arrested for. If you are a convicted felon or have been convicted of a violent misdemeanor or have a restraining order then no. If you have a misdemeanor such as DUI or public intoxication then yes

∙ 14y agoI am not a lawyer, and you should seek legal advice for this. In GENERAL- Federal law does not permit a convicted felon to buy or possess a firearm. ANYWHERE in the US. The key is whether a court convicted you, without regard to a plea.
Added: Your 'plea' has no bearing on the topic. If you pled 'no contest' to a felony offense you were acknowledging that the government had enough evidence to convict you of it, and you did not choose to contest their case. If the judge then accepted your plea and found you guilty - THEN you were convicted. A convicted felon may not legally possess firearms.

∙ 7y agoThe legality of gun ownership is based off convictions for crimes. A convicted felon, regardless on violent or non violent cannot own or posses a firearm. If you were not convicted then you should be ok.

Not only can it do so, but it will. Felonies are not like traffic tickets - they don't go away after a certain period of time.

That's federal law, and it does not vary from state to state.However, if your felony is not a felony under federal law, but only under state law, it might be possible for you to apply for relief of disability. But if you were convicted of something classed as a felony under federal law, it's not going to happen.
