It is my understanding, that any person ever convicted of a felony, cannot legally own a firearm in the United States. Updated: it depends on the type of crime, length of time since you completed your sentence (not got paroled) and the type of firearm you want. You must first get your record expunged, which they won't do violent or domestic crimes, and then you can posses most hunting weapons but still not handguns. In order to own a handgun you must receive a pardon from the governor of the state you were convicted in.

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.
