you always have to
After you have received a pardon and are no longer a convicted felon.AnswerIt depends entirely upon the state you live in, and the violation you were convicted of. Most states do not ban gun ownership by those convicted of misdemeanors, only those guilty of a felony. Even if convicted of a felony, there is usually a process by which the former felon can get their gun rights re-instated, though it may involve a considerable amount of time and paperwork.

It generally depends on how long ago you were convicted of the felony and what the felony was for. Any felony involving theft of money and/or fraud will most definitely disqualify you.
It makes no difference what state you live in, it is a violation of FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18) for a convicted felon to ever own or possess firearms or ammunition.
This is on a state by state basis. I believe in the state of MS if you have a felony charge in the past five years you can not purchase a handgun. I believe it is 2 years for long gun. <><><><> Sorry, have to disagree with above. This is NOT state-by-state, but governed by Federal law, under Title 18, US code. A person that has been convicted of a felony may NOT possess a firearm, whether rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The law does not distinguish between the various crimes that you could be convicted of, other than to define felony. Violation of this is a serious felony in itself, and carries MANDATORY Federal prison time- no probation, no parole. Please consult an attorney in your state.
There is no statute of limitations on a felony drug conviction. You were charged and convicted. It is a part of your record forever.
The answer is, it depends. The major variables are what you were convicted of, how long ago the conviction was, and (probably most importantly) whether or not you are honest about the conviction during the application and hiring process. I have heard of federal employees being terminated after hiring for not disclosing a felony conviction - the conviction itself wasn't the problem, it was the falsifying of the application that led to the problems.
Depends on the "Felony" And the State Laws on Felonies are different from State to State.....
If it was an arrest for a felony and not a conviction, the answer should be yes. An arrest should be meaningless. My father was arrested for a felony. It was a case of mistaken identity. A charge is now supposed to mean nothing. If it was a conviction. The answer is, it depends. Of course if a court overturned it on appeal, you are no longer convicted of a felony even if you served 40 years in prison. Your answer is no. Otherwise, It depends on what was the felony for? How long ago did it happen? What state are you in?

Permanently. The exceptions are a pardon or expungement granted by the governor of the state in which the person received the felony conviction or the President if it is a federal conviction. Such acts are taken in relation to wrongful conviction. For example, the person being cleared in a retrial or by evidence such as DNA being presented that proves the person inoccent of the crime for which he or she was convicted.
