Not only can they be, but they will be. As per federal law, a felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Entering a gun shop violates the last one of those, and thus they become a felon in possession of a firearm.

A convicted felon is generally prohibited from possessing a firearm of any type. If you have been convicted of a felony you maybe arrested for simply having a gun in the house.
