No. Federal law - meaning, it applies to ALL states and territories of the US, and DOES NOT vary between states - prohibits felons from purchasing, possessing, or having access to firearms and ammunition. There is no distinction made between violent and non-violent felons in this regard.

If you are a convicted felon you are prohibited from owning, possessing, transporting a firearm of any type. In most cases you cannot even be caught in possession of firearm ammunition. The best rule of thumb is to not be anywhere near a gun regardless of the owner. If you are caught with a firearm and are a convicted felon depending on the crime you have previously committed it can be a sentencing enhancement as run the risk of the federal government picking up your case to get you tried in a federal court system....not good! ************** A felon that possesses a firearm violates Federal law, and if convicted will be sentenced to at LEAST 5 years in a Federal prison, with no parole, no probation, and no "concurrent" sentence for any other crime. If a felon is on parole for a PAST crime, it also violates his parole, so he will be returned to complete the original sentence as well.
