Welcome to The Firing Line.

As Vanya stated, yes, it will still be on your record if you were convicted and have not had it expunged. Felonies have a nasty habit of following one around. Yes, it makes you a prohibited person under federal law.

I'll give you the standard advice that I give in these threads:
  • You need a lawyer versed in firearms law, both federal and state.
  • You need a lawyer versed in expungements & pardons.
  • You need a lawyer versed in restoration of firearms rights.
  • You do not need legal advice on a very serious and potentially life-changing matter from a bunch of internet gun folks who may or may not know what they're talking about.
  • You do not need to discuss details about your situation on the internet.
  • What you discuss with your lawyer is confidential.
  • What you post on the internet is not.
