No. Arizona law defines a "prohibited possessor" to include any person who has been convicted, within or without this state, of a felony and whose civil right to possess or carry a firearm has not been restored [1]. A person commits misconduct involving weapons by knowingly possessing a deadly weapon or prohibited weapon while a prohibited possessor, and that offense is a class 4 felony [2]. A person whose civil right to possess or carry a firearm has been restored is no longer a prohibited possessor on the basis of that felony conviction [1].
