Can a convicted felon possess ammo?
The crime was paid for 20 years ago - so no longer under control of the state.

If you are prohibited from owning a firearm you are prohibited from owning ammo.

There are lots of "felons" who have their firearms rights though. It all depends on the state and the crime.

Not all felons are equal. You can be a felon because you didn't pay your taxes or you can be a felon because you raped a 12 year old. Roughly 10% of the US population has a felony conviction, something like one in ten of those is for a violent crime. Most non violent felons can get their rights back

This ATF Q&A entry may help. Note the prohibition includes "and/or ammunition". The statute cited in the Q&A may be read here.

In progress. But for now, buying ahead/planning was the idea. Alas. I have advised him to stockpile cash. He'll need some to buy his wife flowers.
