If you were convicted of a felony and the charge stuck, and you served your sentence, you're not an ex-felon - you're an ex-con, but remain a felon. In which case, you may never again purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms. The only exception is if your conviction was for something which was only a felony under state law, but not federal law - in that instance, there is a possibility to apply for relief of disability. However, if what you were convicted of was a felony as defined by federal law, there is no opportunity to do this.
