No, not legally. It is a FEDERAL felony offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm. The United States Code, in some cases, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory mimimum fifteen (15) years in prison. Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1).

∙ 15y agoThat depends on your state. Try searching for "clemency" or "clemency board" and your state's name in Google. Most clemency boards have websites. Most of the time, you'll have to submit a bunch of forms, and the board will decide whether to issue a pardon. You do not need a lawyer to help you, but if you can afford it, he or she can help you with the process.

∙ 13y agoA felon MAY- under some circumstances- have their right to possess a firearm restored. It is not automatic, and does not happen with every felon. The process varies state to state- except you WILL need a lawyer, and it WILL take time.
