Show your gun to the first law enforcement officer you encounter and ask them.

I'm sure quite a few do.

Did you mean to ask if they should or whether or not its legal?

Better for everyone if the felon tried to carry a diploma and a job instead.

CAN they? Sure.

Legally, can they? Absolutely not. It is a violation of federal law for any felon to be in posession of a firearm.

By the way, for the person above regarding voting rights: there are now only 3 states (I live in one) that don't automatically restore voting rights to felons after a prescribed period of time.

Parole or not, a felon cannot possess or attempt to possess a firearm in California both because of State and Federal law.

Felons can't have guns in their possession at all.

No, you will go to jail and they will charge you with CA Penal Code 12021. I work for a law office, trust me!

uuummmm NO!!
The felon should be aware of what is allowed.....they also can not serve on a jury.....
I sure that you could find out by asking your local officer, he will be glad to cuff your a**!

Try to buy one legally and watch what happens.

A convicted felon cannot own, purchase, possess or carry ANY firearm. That is also a felony punishable by a prison term and if on parole, grounds for parole revocation and returned to jail for completion of sentence. Then upon conviction of the firearms charge can have more time slapped on top of that....

A FELON cannot CARRY A GUN, PERIOD.

my avatar's hot!

By federal law a convicted felon can NEVER carry a gun of any kind, ever, in any state in the union. No waivers, no exceptions, and in most states they can't even get a hunting license to hunt with a crossbow.

If you can get a permit to carry the handgun legally, then you can carry the gun. It is diffucult to get a permit once you have a felony on your record, but I'm sure there are "exceptions". I'd contact the parole board for the facts.

for a certain amount of money you can have all your state and federal legal rights restored with felonies not involving assault, murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, robbery, or trafficing illegal substances
