2nd Amendment and Right to Bear Arms/husband convicted felon can I get weapons permit

Question
My husband had a (nonviolent) federal felony conviction 20 years ago. Can I get a concealed weapons permit or am I not allowed to have a gun either, since we live in the same house. We live in Virginia.
Thanks
You can get a concealed weapons permit but you are not allowed to purchase any firearms because your husband lives with you. It is illegal to have weapons around a convicted felon. If he had a state conviction intead of Federal he would be able to apply for restoration of rights.
Good Luck
