Reobtaining Rights

[SuperDj]

What is the name of your state? Georgia

I posted a few weeks ago and never recieved a reply. I was curious to know if it is possible to regain the right to have a firearm if you are a convicted felon. I am on Federal Probation and have 1 year left of 5 years. I have not been in trouble with the law since my conviction and I am getting ready to start working on my Masters. I was not convicted of a violent crime. Is it possible to get this right back or is it gone forever?
