No, you don't. An expungement is not a pardon. You are still a convicted felon, the only difference now is that it will not show up on your public criminal record, only law enforcement will have access to that information.
See below link:
You need to go to an attorney and/or the court and have your felony expunged from your record. This costs a fee and is ultimately a judge's decision.
If your crime was only a felony under Georgia law, it is possible to apply for relief of disability. If your crime was a felony under federal law, it's not going to happen.
Getting a felony expunged doesn't make it go away - it simply limits access to that record. A felon with an expunged record is still a felon, and is still prohibited from purchasing, possessing, or being allowed access to firearms and/or ammunition. That's a federal law, and it does not vary between states.
Each case is different. Hire an attorney or ask your local public defender's office for help.

It has been over 15 years since my felony dwi. How do I get my rights back?
You must first determine if you qualify to have your offense expunged. See below link:
Finish your sentence and parole without committing any more crimes. You will get most of your rights restored automatically. You will also get your right to hold, possess and use guns back if your felony wasn't a crime of violence.
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.
Absolutely not. If its a federal felony no state can give them back. If its a Montana felony they will have to ask the court and there is a good chance their request will be turned down.
