Technically, yes, but there's a bit of a Catch 22 here - a felon, under federal law, may not own, possess, or be allowed to have access to firearms.

Can a felon in Illinois own a BB gun?

This would only be possible if you were convicted of a state felony by a state court.If you were convicted of a FEDERAL felony offense, a state governor cannot pardon a federal conviction.Also: If your firearm rights are restored by the state, you will be able to carry within that state only. Even though pardoned by Illinois, as far as federal law is concerned, you are still considered a convicted felon. If you should be in possession outside Illinois, you are subject to prosecution not only under the law of the state in which you are arrested, but by the feds as well.Additional information: It is well known that a state Governor cannot pardon a federal felony, however when a state governor pardons a state felony the person pardoned has their rights restored and those rights are nationwide. A pardon removes all records and is the same as if it did not happen. Once pardoned a person can vote anyplace in the USA as well as own a firearm anyplace in the USA. Even though you are pardoned in Illinois you are still required to have a FOID card (Firearm owners identification device. A FOID card does not allow you to carry a weapon unless you are a licensed hunter and in an approved area for hunting. Some states have open carry, (IL is not one of them) and in those states you can legally own and carry a firearm once you have been pardoned by a state governor. In some states you can apply for and receive a CCW (concealed carry permit) Illinois is not one of them and the only state that does not issue a CCW. After a pardon from the Governor In Illinois your rights are restored nationwide and you can acquire a CCW permit in any other state except Illinois.
