More details to this question:
In 1991, I was convicted on drug charges. I have not been in any trouble since that time. I would like to know is it ever possible for me to own a handgun, shotgun, rifle? My crimes were non-violent, and are well over 20 yrs old.

If they were not a felony or domestic violence you can get a gun permit with a good criminal lawyer.

You have to go see a lawyer in your State about this. Each State's rules are different.

Yes, you have to get your gun rights restored. Do an internet search for Florida clemency and either hire an attorney or attempt to do it yourself, there is a form you have to submit along with all sorts of certified copies, and you have to pay a fee.
