Go to the gun range? Yes. Legally possess, own, or handle a firearm? No.
Updated answer: ...unless the felon has had his or her rights restored. If not, even though techically not illegal to walk into a gun range, it would be a bad idea, because it could be construed as constructive possession.

∙ 12y agoNo convicted felon ANYWHERE in the US may own or possess a firearm.
Florida Statute 790.001(6) defines a Firearm as any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; any destructive device; or any machine gun.
There are no cases in which the State approves the possession of a firearm by a felon.
