If your right to possess a firearm was revoked in that case, the right is never automatically restored. You have to bring a motion before the court that convicted you in order to have the right restored.

You would be able to under state law, but maybe not under federal law. Consult with a federal firearm attorney.

If you were convicted of the DV charge the general rule would be that you can't own or possess a firearm.
