You have to go through the expungment process.

It depends on the nature of the crime. You should sit down with an attorney and go over your record and the statute.

Yes but you must first petition the court to restore your firearm rights if they were extinguished by the felony.

No. You lost your firearm rights for life, upon felony conviction. Sorry.

No, with a Felony you lose your right to have a firearm. You need to petition the court to reinstate this right.

If your right to possess any firearms was revoked with a felony conviction (probably was) , then the only way you can possess a firearm, even after 14 years, is to have the right to do so restored. Only a judge can do that. Hire an attorney to help you with this as it is a somewhat complex process.

Generally a felony conviction will prevent you from being able to own, possess or use any firearm for life.
