Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

That can be a wobbler charge. If your conviction was as a felony, you are a person 'prohibited' from ever owning or possessing a firearm or ammo. If it was as a misdemeanor, then you have nothing to lose by trying. Make written request on the police agency, followed up with the appropriate court motion if refused.

You are going to have to be acquitted first.
