Re: Felon own property
Yes, although the convicted felon may not be able to lawfully purchase and own a firearm or other property depending on the nature of the crime for which he/she was convicted and the sentence imposed by the court. However, buying a home, television, stereo system, clothes, food, toilet paper and the like should not be a problem. Retain and seek the advice of counsel if you have any doubt. Good luck.
