Basically, no. Felons cannot legally own or possess firearms and that's the answer you should go with, however, here is the answer expounded upon slightly:
Tennessee (and possibly other states) has a law that says if you have possession of a firearm when you aren't supposed to have it, but then have to use it in self defense, you can't be charged with anything. The intent of that was not so that felons could have firearms, but to protect permit holders in case a permit holder accidentally went into a prohibited location but then had to defend himself, he wouldn't get into trouble. However, there was a case about a year ago where a guy, a felon, defended himself with a handgun and wasn't charged, and the local DA specifically referenced that law as the reason he decided not to charge the man with anything. But again, the answer to you question is, felons cannot legally possess firearms. A felon can often have their rights restored, but for information on that, it is best to contact an attorney familiar with the process. As you have a right to restoration/post conviction relief/relief from disabilities, whatever they call it in your state, it can be done without an attorney.
No. Under US Federal law, a convicted felon may not possess a firearm. Possession includes not only ownership, but having control over a firearm- such as having one in your hand. This is a complex legal area that carries severe penalties for getting the answer wrong (5 years in a Federal prison, without probation or parole) Before doing anything along these lines, please seek legal counsel from an attorney.
