Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

My room mate is a convicted felon (10+) years ago, is no longer on probation, etc. The conviction was in the state of Indiana and sentencing was less that a 1 year jail sentence.

Does this disqualify me from obtaining a concealed weapon license or to even register/own a fire arm? I am 40+ years old, have never been charged for even a misdemeanor.
