If you were convicted of a state or federal felony, there
are two ways to restore your right to own a firearm:

(1) If the conviction is vacated, overturned or dismissed by
a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise rendered a
legal nullity.

(2) You are granted an executive pardon that explicitly
restores your right to own a firearm. A simple pardon won't
do--it must state on the pardon that all civil rights
including gun ownership have been restored.
