If your only conviction was as a juvenile, it may not count. Get your record sealed at juvenile hall. If you have a felony as an adult, you cannot get you gun rights back.

I do not know what the impact of your juvenile record will be in the adult court. Possession of a firearm with no other enhancements is 18 mo, 2 yrs or 3 yrs prison. If you are granted probation that could go up to one year in county jail as a term or probation.
