Answer
You will have to apply for full restoration of rights on all felony convictions at the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Parole their number is (404) 656-5330 Executive Clemency Dept.

You will still need to apply and receive a firearm permit even after you receive executive clemency. If you don't you will not pass the NICS check to purchase a weapon.

Good Luck
