    The short answer is no.

    A felon can own a black powder firearm though.

    There is no such law that I am aware of regarding this. The only way a felon can own a shotgun is for the felony to be expunged or a pardon given. If a felon is caught with a gun of any kind (except black powder) in their residence they may and can go to prison for it whether they own it or not.
