That depends on whether you actually ARE an ex-felon, or just using the phrase incorrectly as a substitute for "ex-convict".
If you've been convicted of a felony, had your conviction overturned, and had all charges against you dismissed, you're not a felon, and can regain any rights you may have lost as a result of your conviction.
If you were convicted of something which is a felony under state law, but which is not defined as a felony under federal law, there is a possibility to apply for and receive relief of disability, and you can have your rights restored.
If you were convicted of something defined as a felony under federal law, and the charge and conviction stuck, and you've served your sentence, you're not an ex-felon - you're an ex-con, but remain a felon, and you will not get any firearms rights restored.
