If ONLY your voting rights have been restored, you can't buy a handgun. If ALL your rights were restored, or if your gun rights were restored, yes.

After twenty-five years out of prison are any of your rights restored?
No rights are restored automatically, with the exception of the right to vote. Offenders in twelve states are unable to vote if incarcerated, on parole or probation, and potentially forever based on the crime they committed and other variable. Offenders in 18 states may not vote while incarcerated, or on parole or probation. Five state permit felons voting rights after discharge and/or completion of parole. And, two states, Maine and Vermont, have no restirctions whatsoever. For a comprehensive look at voters rights, go to: http://felonvoting.procon.org/viewresource.asp?resourceID=286 Other rights forfeited by felony conviction may only be reobtained by petitioning the court, however, I have never heard of a previously convicted person regaining rights once they are lost.

Can Felons with 180 days in jail can have firearms?
A felon cannot own or possess a fire arm until his/her rights have been restored. Typically, he/she must wait until the completion of his/her sentence (including parole/probation) and an additional period before petitioning the state for the return of rights. Once this is granted, they will have the same rights to firearms as a non-felon citizen. The same process is used to restore voting rights in jurisdictions where convicted felons give up the right to vote.
