Can Florida felons own firearms

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No convicted felon ANYWHERE in the US may own or possess a firearm.

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.

Answer 3

Doesn't matter. While there are some states which such a liberal "shall issue" policy that felons have been able to obtain concealed carry permits, all it does is shield them from a misdemeanor charge. They still, under federal law, may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms.

Answer 4

No. Under federal law, a convicted felon may not own, possess, or have access to firearms.
