It depends on the specifics of the underlying charge. If you have a misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence, federal law prohibits you from owning or possessing a firearm. Federal law would trump any state law, and apply in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

That court order applies nationwide, and is recorded in DOJ database. Violation is a felony with mandatory prison time.
