No. The state of residence has nothing to do with it. It is a violation of FEDERAL law (US Code, Title 18) for convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm or ammunition.
Edit: The original answer is not entirely correct. 18 USC 922(g) says that a convicted felon cannot possess a firearm; however, 18 USC 921(a)(20) states that a felon who has had his or her civil rights restored on the underlying state felony conviction is no longer affected by that provision in 922. Therefore, if the state in which the felony occurred allows for restoration of civil rights (such as by a decree of the governor) and the felon has received that restoration, then he or she can in fact own a firearm.
As if that weren't complicated enough, there's an additional provision in the federal law. A felon can get back the right to own a firearm only if the relevant state's civil rights restoration includes the right to vote, hold elected office, AND serve on a jury. If any of those three are missing, then the federal law still prohibits owning a firearm regardless of what state law says.
In the case of Missouri, felons are prohibited from ever serving on a jury unless pardoned, so only a pardon (which removes the conviction entirely) can restore the right to own a firearm.

In Missouri, a convicted felon cannot legally own or possess a gun. Federal law prohibits felons from possessing firearms, and state law mirrors this restriction. Violating this law can lead to severe penalties, including additional criminal charges.

Missouri also prohibits felon in possession of a firearm, so a felon in possession may be convicted in both state and federal court for that crime.
