AnswerA felon can also hire a lawyer and attempt to have their conviction of a felony expunged, thereby permitting the ability to own a firearm. The last way I know of would be to petition the Governor of the state for a pardon of the past sentence.Only for hunting purposes.
Another View: Check with the law enforcement officials of your state of residence.
