Answer 1: In many states, even persons who haven'tbeen convicted of federal felonies -- or anything else, for that matter -- can't use stun guns; and that's because stun guns are just plain illegal in those states. So, then, in at least those states, the fact that there may or may not have been a prior federal felony conviction (or even a state one) is irrelevant.

In states where stun guns are legal, though, it may, indeed, matter. But that -- and this is important -- would be up to the state, not the federal government.

Stun gun usage is a state, not a federal, matter. And every state's laws are different. In some states which allow the use of stun guns, anyone convicted of any kind of felony -- whether a federal one, or a state one -- may well not be allowed. In other states which allow the use of stun guns, not only felons, but also even those convicted of misdemeanors might not be allowed. In yet other states which allow the use of stun guns, there may be no restrictions. It all, again, depends on the state.

The questioner will need to consult the laws of his/her state; and since no state was specified in the question, it's impossible to fully answer, as asked.
