The firearms statues do not define possession. The term has been defined by case law, and ordinary meaning of the word.
No.
There is not a statue of limitations for a felon possessing a fire arm anywhere in the country. This is against federal law.
No. Not only can a felon not purchase, be in possession of, or have access to firearms in Florida, federal law prohibits them in the whole of the United States. Florida Statute 790.001(6) defines a Firearm as any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon; any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; any destructive device; or any machine gun. There are no cases in which the State approves the possession of a firearm by a felon.
It depends on whether they were charged under state or federal statute. If charged under federal law, they could receive up to 15 years for simply possessing the firearm, much less discharging it. In addition - any other crime that was associated with their discharging of it, could be added on to the possession charge.
NO. Regardless of what state you reside in, it is a FEDERAL offense (USC, Title 18) for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm or ammunition.

Difficult to answer - too much is unknown. You can be pretty sure that they will be returned to jail/prison to serve the remainder of their original sentence. In the meantime they will be charged and tried for the firearm possession offense, and that sentence will probably be added onto the top of their original sentence. If the felon was charged under the federal statute they could be imprisoned for up to 15 years on the firearm charge alone.

Go to the gun range? Yes. Legally possess, own, or handle a firearm? No. Updated answer: ...unless the felon has had his or her rights restored. If not, even though techically not illegal to walk into a gun range, it would be a bad idea, because it could be construed as constructive possession.
Not familiar with the MO law on this offense, but I can tell you that if you are charged under the Federal Statute (USC, Title 18) you could receive up to 15 years in a federal prison.
