It depends on the specific circumstances of the domestic violence charge, as well as the state in which you live. In general, federal law prohibits individuals who have been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor or a felony from purchasing or possessing a firearm. However, some states have additional restrictions, such as prohibiting individuals from purchasing or possessing a firearm if they have been convicted of any type of domestic violence offense, regardless of the severity. Some states also have waiting periods, during which time people who have been convicted of domestic violence must wait before they can purchase a firearm.

If you are unsure whether or not you are prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm, it is important to consult with an attorney in your state who specializes in firearms law.
