Well, yeah, I guess, but I would definitely suggest you keep it away from your son...
Added: If you are otherwise lawfully qualified there is no prohibiton against YOUR owning or possessing a firearm.
HOWEVER, the law prohibits YOUR SON from being anywhere he may have access to a firearm. It makes no difference WHERE you keep it in the residence, even if you claim it is locked in a safe. It is referred to in the law as "concurrent possession." If you wish to have your son reside with you, and keep him out of trouble with the law, you will have to make arrangements to keep your firearm somewhere else than in your home or anywhere else he may be around it.
Expounded on the previous answer: There is also what is known at "constructive possession" which is different than concurrent possession, both of which MAY be defined differently in different jurisdictions. Generally speaking, constructive possession means the person has access and intent to possess the item. In SOME jurisdictions, a felon may reside in the same house where a firearm is present, as long as the felon does not have feasible access to it. However, having said that, it is not normally a good idea, because of the concurrent possession law.

Not unless they return to New Jersey to petition the NJ Courts to expunge their record. Your record can only be expunged by the jurisdiction in which you were originally convicted. Your felony conviction follows you for life and the penalties for violating the firearm possession laws are HARSH.
