Felons cannot own or possess gun in any U.S. state, unless the felons rights have been restored.
Generally speaking, no. If a person is a felon, they cannot normally own guns unless the person's gun rights have been restored.
The basic answer is, not legally. A felon cannot legally own or possess a handgun.
It depends on what you mean by "ex" felon. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as an ex felon. People typically used the term ex-felon to mean someone who is no longer in prison, but the person still a felon. If a person has a felony on his record, he cannot legally own or even possess a firearm, and no state will issue a gun permit to him. The exception to that is a felon who has had his rights restored. This is something you have to request through a legal process, so if that has happened, the felon will know it.
Yes. The timeframe is never. A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms or ammunition. That's federal law.
If it was a felony charge, and you were convicted, no. A felon cannot obtain a gun permit or possess a gun anywhere in the U.S. unless your rights have been restored by a magistrate.
as a convicted felon i had to have all my weapons given to the police or to members of my family. this was forever. also as a felon you can't vote ( no big problem) and a couple of other things which i forget. now where i live you don't get a felony sentence unless you waved it around and tried to shoot stars out of the country sky while drunk as can be threatening your mother-in law with it . otherwise it's only a misdeminer
Under Federal law, the felon cannot have uncontrolled access to the firearms. When not in someone's hand, they need to be under lock and key- and the felon cannot have access to the key.
Ask the person's probation officer.
If it's parole for a felony conviction, it doesn't matter how long you're off - a convicted felon is not allowed to purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. That's federal law, and is not going to differ between states.
Depends on what you have been arrested for. If you are a convicted felon or have been convicted of a violent misdemeanor or have a restraining order then no. If you have a misdemeanor such as DUI or public intoxication then yes
