Above is correct, but with an exception- Many states have enacted "preemption" statutes, to prevent a "patchwork quilt" of gun laws that vary dramatically city to city, county to county. In those states, the State Legislature preempts the ability of a county to pass gun laws, reserving that right to itself.

You cannot. Due to the seperation of powers between states and the federal government, federal authorities cannot act to over-ride the state's decision.Besides, federal law (18 USC, para 921 & 922), also specifically states that ANY convicted felon cannot possess a firearm - unless - the laws of your state specifically allow for the granting of an exception (which would supersede federal law in YOUR state only). If your state refuses to grant you this right - that is the end of it.

To what jurisdiction do federal and state criminal statutes apply?
Federal criminal statutes apply to offenses that violate federal laws, which are enacted by Congress and can be prosecuted in federal courts. These typically involve crimes that cross state lines, involve federal property, or violate federal regulations. State criminal statutes apply to offenses that violate state laws and are prosecuted in state courts, covering a wide range of local issues. Each jurisdiction operates independently, but federal law can supersede state law in certain cases due to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
