Here's a blanket answer that is a matter of federal law, and applies to all states and territorial possessions of the United States..

A convicted felon may not own, possess, or have access to firearms or ammunition.

A felon in possession of a firearm is a Class C federal felony under 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2), and is punishable by up to ten years in prison.
