From research it does not appear that there is any means available to have gun rights restored to a convicted felon in the state of Florida.
For your information - below is a link the Florida Expungement law.
HOWEVER - Even if you qualify for expungement - the expunged record is closed ONLY to the general public. Government agencies and law enforcement always have access to the expunged record.
No.

∙ 14y agoTo request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do your own esearch to learn if this applies to your state), you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS - CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore, if you were convicted in FEDERAL COURT of a FEDERAL FELONY - it is a felony crime for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has effectively eliminated the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges, by denying funding for the purpose.

you must first get a pardon from the Governor then have your criminal record expunged! ... and that won't restore gun rights in any way, shape, or form. Simply put, there really isn't a way to restore them. Once you've lost them, they're lost for good.

Can a felon with firearm no injuries who completed a 3 yr sentence in1995 bring a Federal conspiracy lawsuit against his Florida PD appellate counsel Prosecutor etc to restore his right to own gun?
I will not even begin to decipher the part of the federal conspiracy blah blah blah, but generally speaking, if you're a felon in possession of a firearm who is arrested and convicted for such it would be considered a weapons offense, which would be considered a violent offense, something that would be almost impossible to be given a pardon or restoration of civil rights for, especially the right to own or possess a gun. If you have any issues with your defense attorney you need to deal with that issue separately.

Can the wife of an ex felon own a gun?
That depends on the use of "ex-felon". If the husband was a convicted felon whose conviction was later overturned and their sentence reversed, then the husband is no longer a felon - that is an ex-felon. If the husband is a convicted felon who simply completed his sentence, that is not an ex-felon - that is a felon.In either case, the wife retains the right to own a firearm. However, doing so in the case of a felon husband may send her husband right back to prison - under federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or be given access to firearms. Having a firearm in the same home can be considered allowing a felon access to firearms, even if kept in a gun safe.
