There is no time limit on felony firearm possession laws. It's illegal for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm, at any time, for any reason, whether they own it or not. ADDED: FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: You must petition the court to request an expungement of your felony offense. If your request for expungement is granted and you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "rights" (you will have to do research to learn if this applies to your state of residence), you will still remain subject to any restrictions that your state laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - privilege of holding elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). CAUTION: FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: It remains a FEDERAL felony offense for a federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. The United States Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm in some cases, a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At the present time, federally convicted felons have no practical solution to their firearm disqualification problems.
