Whether or not you are allowed to possess a firearm with respect to the felony conviction that you have written about depends upon what specific charge you pled guilty to and the laws of your state on the topic. As such, you need to consult with a criminal defense attorney to give you further guidance on the subject.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
