Can a convicted DWI felon own a gun in NY?

In New York, a convicted DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) felon is generally prohibited from owning a firearm. New York law restricts gun ownership for individuals with felony convictions, and DWI offenses resulting in felony status fall under this restriction. However, individuals may apply for a pardon or have their rights restored after a certain period, depending on the specifics of their case. It's essential for anyone in this situation to consult legal counsel for guidance.
