This may be old news, but it is the best I can find: A felon may not possess a gun until five years after release from prison (or from parole, or community supervision, etc., whichever is later) and then, only at the premises where the person lives (see Penal Code § 46.04). A violation is a 3rd degree felony.

A gun for protection is more likely to get you into trouble than not. You may want to reconsider its value to you.

Can a convicted felon vote in Massachusetts?

Yes. Many felons in Massachusetts think they've permanently lost the right to vote and much of that misconception was created in the year 2000, when a successful ballot question removed the right to vote for convicted felons while they were serving their time. But as soon as a person is released, his or her right to vote is restored.
