It is my understanding, that any person ever convicted of a felony, cannot legally own a firearm in the United States. Updated: it depends on the type of crime, length of time since you completed your sentence (not got paroled) and the type of firearm you want. You must first get your record expunged, which they won't do violent or domestic crimes, and then you can posses most hunting weapons but still not handguns. In order to own a handgun you must receive a pardon from the governor of the state you were convicted in.
You need to get a lawyer.
you have to be over 18 to buy shot guns and rifles you can be as young as ten to own them you have to be 21 to buy a hand gun
It depends on why you were arrested. More specifically, it depends on whether you were convicted of a crime, and what you were convicted of. Most misdemeanors will not disqualify you from owning a firearm, but any any felony will.
NO

Shoplifting is a felony in EVERY state. You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you. Shame, shame, shame.
