No. Absolutely not. Not even true in Texas.When Sam get out of jail can he at least get an fid? I know that in Texas a convicted can own guns as long as they keep it in their house.
If you are convicted of a felony, or other crime that has the POTENTIAL sentence of more than 2 years (with a couple exceptions for insider trading and such) you are Federally prohibited from touching a firearm unless you are pardoned and that pardon specifically restores firearms rights in addition to all other civil rights.
