It doesn't matter what state you're in, the answer is going to be no. Under the Latenburg Amendment - which is a matter of federal law, and applicable to all states and territories of the US - you may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms if you've been convicted of any domestic violence offense, to include misdemeanor offenses.
Yes, sometimes, depending on the circumstances. You should contact an attorney and he can check into for you.
No, you can't buy a shotgun in the state of Tennessee if you have had a domestic violence charge.
No. A conviction of a crime of domestic violence prevents you from owning or possessing a firearm.

When does the statute of limitations run out on a domestic violence misdemeanor charge in Florida
Depending on the circumstances of the case it may be possible to have a domestic violence misdemeanor expunged from your record. In California a domestic violence allegation can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor.
In Tennessee, you will need to submit your information to a licenced dealer for a criminal background check in order to purchase a handgun. A shotgun or rifle can be acquired by anyone over the age of 18 without the need of a background check.
Maybe he's just telling you that, or maybe he wasn't actually charged with Domestic Violence but with a lessser offense such as . . . . . perhaps Simple Assault. The actual charge of Domestic Violence cannot be expunged.

If you assault a non-family member then domestic violence isn't part of the equation. Each state has different terminology on "assault" and I am sure that some lawyerly individual will add to this. Added: Any offense involving a charge of domestic violence or domestic assault automatically "enhances" the assault charge. Conviction of any offense enhanced by a domestic violence charge will prevent you from ever owning or possessing a firearm. (Lautenberg Amendment).
