While a misdemeanor conviction (other than domestic violence) does not strip him of his gun rights, ANY conviction (other than a traffic offense -and sometimes even those) can be grounds for revocation of his pistol license.
And any "gun" crime usually is automatic revocation. It may not be a statute requirement, but it is what they do, almost without exception.
This may be the exception, the "crime" was a)non-violent, b)admitted to, c) the guy obviously has some stroke in his local area, D) was an "honest mistake..etc..)
SOO, he might not get his permit pulled, or might get it re-instated (perhaps after a "cooling off" period when attention to the case has faded), if he is nice enough to the right people.
When someone on the anti-gun side breaks a gun law, their side usually tries to make it no big deal, he broke a "rule", simple mistake, no one was hurt, etc. When someone on our side of the issue does exactly the same thing, they scream about violations of LAW! Children could have died, stiff jail time and loss of rights MUST BE APPLIED!, Etc., etc., etc.
Double standard is the mildest thing I can say about it....
