   You may not possess a fire arm. In fact, if you do so (under U.S. federal law) you are committing a felony. 18 U.S.C. 922(g) says in pertinent part:

   (g) It shall be unlawful for any person–
   (1) who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable
   by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;

   to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or
   affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

   I just purchased several handguns in the last several months. All I needed was my Drivers License. I am in Ohio so the laws might be different in your state. All you have to do is fill out a Background check. They take about 10 minutes to fill out and 15 minutes to clear. Remember to be 100 percent honest. Lying will get you voided. There will be a section on the Background check for your felony. Tell the truth because they will know. If you lie and they find out(which they will), you get put on the black list, which stops you from ever purchasing a weapon again. Tell the truth and you will be good.

   Why would you even want a gun.

   If you have a felony you can’t get a modern one. The most advanced gun you could get would be a precussion revolver, although they don’t require any paperwork at all!
