No. Not only can a felon not purchase, be in possession of, or have access to firearms in Florida, federal law prohibits them in the whole of the United States.

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.
