Under Title 18, US code, section 922, a person convicted of ANY felony is prohibited from possessing a firearm anywhere in the US. Federal law. Whether the crime was violent or not MAY have a bearing on whether gun rights may be restored at a later time, but does not affect the prohibition. You should consult an attorney licensed in your state- I am a gun collector, not attorney.
