No. The state of residence has nothing to do with it. It is a violation of FEDERAL law (US Code, Title 18) for convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm or ammunition.
Edit: The original answer is not entirely correct. 18 USC 922(g) says that a convicted felon cannot possess a firearm; however, 18 USC 921(a)(20) states that a felon who has had his or her civil rights restored on the underlying state felony conviction is no longer affected by that provision in 922. Therefore, if the state in which the felony occurred allows for restoration of civil rights (such as by a decree of the governor) and the felon has received that restoration, then he or she can in fact own a firearm.
As if that weren't complicated enough, there's an additional provision in the federal law. A felon can get back the right to own a firearm only if the relevant state's civil rights restoration includes the right to vote, hold elected office, AND serve on a jury. If any of those three are missing, then the federal law still prohibits owning a firearm regardless of what state law says.
In the case of Missouri, felons are prohibited from ever serving on a jury unless pardoned, so only a pardon (which removes the conviction entirely) can restore the right to own a firearm.

∙ 13y agoNo, the state of residence has nothing to do with it. It is a violation of FEDERAL law (US Code, Title 18) for a convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm. Missouri also prohibits felon in possession of a firearm, so a felon in possession may be convicted in both state and federal court for that crime.

∙ 12y agoThey are prohibited by FEDERAL law from possessing firearms but Tasers do not fall under this category. The laws of the various states MAY prohibit this type of weapon from being possessed by a felon, but you would have to research the laws of your individual state.

No. See this thread from a PA gun organization website:http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/39531-can-felon-hunt-black-powder-rifle.htmlAccording to a member that goes by GunLawyer001 ...Gun shop employees and police officers are notorious for not knowing the firearms laws.If we read the actual law it seems pretty clear to me.Your felony conviction prohibits you from possessing firearms per 18Pa.C.S.§6105(http://paopencarry.org/uniform-firearms-act#6105)Paragraph (i) defines "Firearm" for that section as follows.Sorry, but my understanding of the above is that no, you can not.There's always archery, which IMO is more fun anyway.This is all perfectly correct, and I say this as a licensed member of the PA bar.
