As long as the offense is not a domestic violence offense, and that felony was the only thing which interrupted your right to keep and bear arms, then yes, that should have rendered you eligible to own a firearm. There is a separate federal law which forbids those who have been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor from possessing firearms as well.

If it was reduced to misdemeanor, there is a five waiting period for DUI to obtain a CPL.
