A convicted felon cannot possess a firearm. 'Possess' does not mean 'own'. If you pick one up, you have committed another felony. To own is one of the examples of the definition "Possess" so either way you look at it its a felony.

∙ 11y agoNO, there should be a law stating that a felon should not be in possession of a firearm,If you are a convicted felon you should know that, firing one proves you were in possession.
Actually, there may or may not a state law in any given state. In the U.S. there is a federal law prohibiting convicted felons from possessing a firearm in most cases. A felon cannot own or posess a gun unless the felon has had his rights restored.
