Your correct on the felon vs misdemeanor thing and all the states are pretty consistent, BUT, with the passage of Lottenburg and Brady, any conviction that is domestic violence related, whether misd or felony takes away your right to own a firearm on the federal level. Both are pretty poor pieces of legislation that made it thru. Federal law always trumps state law.
