A person convicted of ANY felony is prohibited from owning a firearm in ANY state- this is a Federal law. However, some persons that have completely discharged their sentences for a STATE crime MAY petition to have their civil rights restored by the state. For the process to do that, you need a West Virginia attorney to advise you. Possession of a firearm by a felon that has NOT had the right to possess a gun restored is a Federal felony, good for 5-10 years in a Federal prison. Really- see an attorney for this one- not WikiAnswers.
