It is a violation of federal law (US Code, Title 18) for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. Some states (but by no means all) have a mechanism where a convicted felon might regain a limited access to firearms, but you must have been convicted of a state crime, NOT A FEDERAL CRIME, and submit the proper required applications. Check your state laws carefully. Even if you do get it restored to you, they it will not be honored outside your home state and you can be arrested.

It is up to the individual state where you live. If a pardon is obtained some states may reinstate your gun owning rights.

Yes, It is possible. I myself am a convicted felon in the state of Florida. You must apply for restoration of your civil rights. there are 2 types of restoration. WITH firearm authority, and WITHOUT firearm authority. I do not remember off the top of my head, but first you must be 7-10 years free of all conditions of your conviction, have not been arrested during that time, and not have any fines or fees against you with a total of $1,000 or more. you then submit your request to the board and your case and criminal history is reviewed and a decision will be made to grant or deny your restoration of civil rights.

How much is it for a felon to get gun rights back?

If you are a federally convicted felon there is no way. No mechanism exists to restore firearm rights to convicted federal felons.If you are state convicted - it depends entirely on which state you live in and/or which state convicted you. SOME states will restore limited firearm rights - others will not restore them at all.Your best course of action is contact an attorney in your state for consultation.

Can a convicted felon in Georgia get a concealed carry permit after rights are restored?

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.
