This is on a state by state basis. I believe in the state of MS if you have a felony charge in the past five years you can not purchase a handgun. I believe it is 2 years for long gun.

Sorry, have to disagree with above. This is NOT state-by-state, but governed by Federal law, under Title 18, US code. A person that has been convicted of a felony may NOT possess a firearm, whether rifle, pistol, or shotgun. The law does not distinguish between the various crimes that you could be convicted of, other than to define felony. Violation of this is a serious felony in itself, and carries MANDATORY Federal prison time- no probation, no parole. Please consult an attorney in your state.
