Before worrying about your gun rights, you should not assume that you are guilty. There may be defenses. COntact a lawyer in your area who can explain to you what your chances are.
There is the possibility that you could lose your gun rights. You need to try to beat the charge. My advice is to hire an attorney to help you navigate the legal process and defend you.

Under Federal law gun rights are forfeited for the commission of felonies and certain other crimes (domestic abuse related matters). If the charge is not a felony they you probably would not face a Federal firearms disability. However, Alabama may have stricter laws and you need to consult with an Alabama attorney on that.
