It will depend on the convictions, whether misdemeanors or felonies, how many, and how long its been.

It depends on what the convictions are for. Some have it that after a period of time the rights are automatically restored but others you have to apply to the county gun board and ask permission to have them restored.

It depends on which type of felony. Two-year felonies in Michigan don't cause you to lose your gun rights, but it would under federal law. In Michigan, you automatically get your gun rights for certain non-violent felonies back after all requirements have been met after three years. For certain violent felonies such as assaultive crimes, home invasion, narcotics, etc. you will have to wait five-years and apply at the gun board in your county. Keep in mind that just because you rights under Michigan law have been restored, you may still be prohibited under federal law. Check with a federal attorney that specializes in gun law for a more accurate answer to your question.

If you are a convicted felon, the answer is no.
