While on parole, no, not in California, if it is all within California, civil rights (with some exceptions) can be restored via a certificate of rehabilitation and governors pardon.

Depends on which state, and depends on the ability to get a 'restoration of rights' order from the courts or governor. If you are serious about pursuing that and willing to discuss the legal fees involved, feel free to contact me if it is in CA.
