Check your state's law CAREFULLY! Not unless you've petitioned the state to have your firearms rights restored.

BTW; Expungement only removes your record from the publicportion of your records only! Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies still have access to it and could deny it for that reason alone.

This ALL depends on what state you live in, and what crime you committed.

If it is a felony, you can NEVER own a gun legally.
