Can a family own a firearm if one of them is a felon?

Typically, no. While the one family member being a felon doesn't impede on the right of other family members to possess a firearm, the felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to a firearm. Even if the firearms are kept locked up in a safe which the convicted felon does not have the means to get into, their proximity is considered to be them having access to firearms.

Can you buy a firearm with a felony coviction in pa?

No. See this thread from a PA gun organization website:http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/39531-can-felon-hunt-black-powder-rifle.htmlAccording to a member that goes by GunLawyer001 ...Gun shop employees and police officers are notorious for not knowing the firearms laws.If we read the actual law it seems pretty clear to me.Your felony conviction prohibits you from possessing firearms per 18Pa.C.S.§6105(http://paopencarry.org/uniform-firearms-act#6105)Paragraph (i) defines "Firearm" for that section as follows.Sorry, but my understanding of the above is that no, you can not.There's always archery, which IMO is more fun anyway.This is all perfectly correct, and I say this as a licensed member of the PA bar. In case that Official Stamp of Approval helps anyone.
