Answer
Hello,

I am not a lawyer. You need to check this out with legal assistance.

I do know that Federal law prohibits convicted felons from owning or possessing firearms.

In some states pardons are considered for convicted felons. This is another reason that you should contact a legal representative.

Best regards,
